Dear Wander Africa Family,
An excerpt from our newsletter:
We are onto the final stretch of the year and wow, do we have a lot to reflect upon.
General Life Update: The phrase “where has this year gone” is more real this year than it has ever been. Being candid with all of you, it was a challenging year for me and Brandi, not for the business, but, for us as new parents, business owners, humans and I guess, now, hurricane survivors? We were not sure how we would get through the year, but we did, and we made the most of the motions. We were so used to living a life working at all hours of the week, but, were forced to slow it down and focus on what is at home, and we are feeling so grateful for this. Dilly seems to be getting more adorable every day, and brings joy to all those he comes across, including us. Is he a good sleeper? Heck no, but, at least he always has a smile on his face. We will take that as a win. Can you believe he is already 8 months old? He’s caught the travel bug early too, with trips to London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and within the US to Atlanta, Indiana, and LA/Palm Springs. Next up, we’re excited to take him to Kenya —where my own journey began.
Wander Africa Update: This was an exceptionally busy and successful year for us with a little over 200 guests on safari spanning multiple countries in Africa, India and Latin America. With that, we made many new friends and fostered forever relationships. We hope this momentum continues next year, where we will have new and exciting experiences for you to enjoy. Many of our clients traveling soon have a lot to look forward to, from privately guided one-off multi-gen safaris, gorilla trekking, canoeing along the channels of the Zambezi in Zambia, to helicopter flips and private airplanes. But, as many of you know, just being in the African wilderness is a special journey, no matter how you experience it.
We are just looking forward to what the new year brings, and can’t wait to share all the adventures and stories that come with it.
Wishing you a peaceful and hopeful New Year and the happiest of holidays!
With love and hugs,
Jay, Brandi and Dillon
