Asia to Africa Safaris

By | Animals and Pets, Travel | 3 Comments

I have been dreaming of going to an African Safari.  It’s in my bucket list!  I am probably going to make only one trip in my life to Africa so I will make sure I get the BEST experience.   Thanks to A to A for making it easier for everyone to make that dream come true.   I spoke to Jeremy Sy from A to A Safari and he says that they specialize in high end Safari trips but of course they can also organize trips to fit your budget.  As a kid, I always thought of safaris as roughing it out in the middle of nowhere.  And did not realize that there are several luxurious camps that are really really very nice with incredible views and with unique experiences!!! I am looking forward to my African Safari someday!

Ten years ago, A to A was started by my brother’s friend, Binky Dizon and his partners.  What a great idea!!! They not only service the Philippine market but the whole of Asia!

Since I have never been to a Safari, I have asked permission from my Dad and Mom and their friends to share their recent ( 2009 )  trip to Africa.  They went as a group of friends and they had so much fun.  I also heard that it is a romantic destination for honeymoon couples or just couples in general.  I am sure it will be fun to go as a big family as well though the camps are generally small so if you are a big family, you will probably fill up the whole camp.  I think it would be nice to go as a reasonable size group

After dinner, at around 10pm, we all gathered in the hotel room of Dad and Mom.  We celebrated New Year in Seoul, Korea.   Everyone was just hanging out and waiting for 12 midnight to celebrate the New Year

Our New Year spread!  Mom likes to go to the food court under department stores and buy our noche buena.  We did something similar when we were in Tokyo two years ago
