At Wilderness Travel, we’re delighted seeing one our trips through the lens of a happy traveler. Three-time WT adventurer Jill Goldy recently took a WT private journey to South Africa, Victoria Falls, and Botswana, and her wildlife photos are phenomenal. Take a look:

Jill says, “My husband and I wanted to celebrate a milestone anniversary by taking a family trip with our sons that would be especially memorable for all of us. With our sons’ work and school schedules, we were able to find a single two-and-a-half-week period in the entire year that they were available at the same time. We went on a private safari to Southern Africa, with visits to Cape Town and Victoria Falls, which satisfied all of our wishes and more.”
