Mom the souvenir queen ofcourse bought tshirts for everyone Tshirts with our favorite saying this trip – HAKUNA MATATA – our guides would always tell us.

Hakuna matata shirts 1 Hakuna matata shirts 2

That is truly how it is when we are in the safari which is one of the reasons why I love being in the wilderness. When we were in the camps we had a different high – going on our game drives seeing the animals, downtime and sundowners. I totally forgot what day it was and didn’t worry or think about anything except enjoying the moment. People are so cool and so chill Truly Hakuna Matata – NO WORRIES  I wish the trip would never end and felt bad going back to the city. Now I know why Karen Blixen fell in love with Africa. We almost did not push thru with our safari trip but we are truly blessed we were able to go. Truly a trip to remember and loved bonding with Dad and Mom, with my family and my sister’s family Hoping to discover more places in Africa in the future #h2hsafari#a2asafaris #hakunamatataHakuna Matata
