#LTsouthafrica: on safari with sabi sabi
The morning after our day with the Newkidz on the Block, Hands Up Holidays, we woke up bright dark and early. Yes, correct: we woke up before the sun, on vacation, the morning after a full day of manual labor. As you can probably guess, this is NOT our norm. But if anything can get us up before dawn, it’s the promise of our first safari with Sabi Sabi. Yes, this was it! This was the day!

#LTsouthafrica: we’re going to africa & you’re invited!
If you’ve been reading LT from its earliest days, then you may already know this. Going to Africa, and specifically South Africa, has been at the top of our list for-basically-ever. To be perfectly honest, though? Actually booking a trip felt overwhelming. How do you know that you’re doing such an expansive, incredible continent and country justice?! Finally, we pushed our laziness aside. Sort of. In just under four weeks, along with our friend Mrs. O, we’ll be jetting off to Cape Town. We’ve partnered with Hands Up Holidays, who arranges luxury voluntourism in regions all over the world. That’s…
