wow, what an awesome safari base!

early safari buffet supper happy kids
the swimming pool kept the kids so happy. i'm so glad we booked the early safari at 5.45am because the queue was already long by 6am. dinner and breakfast buffets are amazing, so much flavor!
the gym had limited equipment, so i couldn't do my full workout routine.
