Creator's Key Takeaways

I now have there's 24 of us going on our safari in um September of 2024.

I wanted to keep the price point for my group at a point that wouldn't shock people so we're doing it for nine nights.

It's safer than you know walking across your street or driving a car.

I sold out in two weeks so that tells you and then I had people going oh I was going to call you I wish I'd known that it was so popular.
