I Saw the Big Five, Experienced Iconic Victoria Falls, and Camped Out Under the Stars With Like-minded Travelers on This Once-in-a-lifetime Safari
"A vast, barren salt-pan landscape of extreme heat and wide-open solitude where travelers search for meerkats and encounter dramatic, lonely scenery. Long drives across the pan lead to moments of stark, meditative beauty—such as resting in the shade of a colossal, ancient tree standing alone for miles—followed by golden-hour drives that culminate in secluded sundowner spots with campfires and simple comforts amid an expansive, quiet wilderness." - Sophie Mendel Sophie Mendel Sophie Mendel is an editor at Travel + Leisure, where she assigns, edits, and publishes the product reviews and recommendations that help guide travelers toward the best shoes, apparel, accessories, and hotels for their needs.
