Companion Guide on our Retirement Travelers Website https://retirementtravelers.com/ten-important-things-diy-african-safari-kruger Planning a Luxury Safari to Kruger National Park in South Africa was very high on our bucket list, it’s been there since we were children, so we wanted to get it right, not cut corners, and have a spectacular experience seeing wildlife in their natural habitat. In the end, we did exactly that. We spent a week in Kruger National Park and added a weeklong trip to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Two action packed weeks of bucket list experiences. One of the biggest misconceptions in planning an African safari is that you need to book through a tour operator to get the best experience. While we aren’t opposed to this plan, we just believed we could book a great safari, if we could figure out all the steps. Today, we’re going to tell you how we did it, cutting out the middleman, creating a bucket list worthy trip with flexibly to do what we wanted to do, when we wanted to do it, all the while saving thousands of dollars. We visited Cape Town, Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe National Park in Botswana and did all the planning through our local guides. We’re going to show you all our choices and share all our costs, so while it may sound complicated on the surface, it is not. Trust us when we tell you, that if we can do it, so can you. ➡️➡️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER! http://eepurl.com/h_P0RD ⬅️⬅️ Retirement Travelers Website: https://retirementtravelers.com/ RVMail Service: https://gomyrv.com/RetirementTravelers My Day Trip: https://mydaytrip.com/?linkId=lp_859348&sourceId=retirement-travelers&tenantId=daytrip Chase Sapphire Credit Card link: https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19l/TU3SAODCFT Express VPN Link: https://www.expressvpn.com/refer-a-friend/30-days-free?referrer_id=67246982&utm_campaign=referrals&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=referral_dashboard ⬇️ Our Financial Advisors ⬇️ URS Financial Advisory Link: https://www.ursadvisory.com/ Retire with Julia Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RetirewithJulia Click this link to check out AIRALO: https://airalo.pxf.io/rQnbrB Fare Drop cheap flights: https://faredrop.com/?fpr=john13 Video Number 164 #safari #southafrica #retirementtravelers #luxurytravel #luxurytraveler #travelabroad #retirementadvice #safariweek #southafrican #victoriafalls #retirementtravel #africansafari #africa #capetown Get Social with Us!!!
