Legendary Safari Experiences

At The Wild Source, we love planning safaris for families! There are many great options across the continent. Budding wildlife biologists can stay out all day with our big cat research team in Tanzania; adventurous families can hike and canoe between game drives; and families with busy schedules at home can reconnect over private dinners and relaxing together by the pool.

In April, I was given the incredible opportunity to travel to Africa for the very first time, spending a total of twelve days soaking in the magic that is the Pearl of Africa - Uganda. Over the course of two unforgettable weeks, we spent nearly forty hours driving through diverse landscapes, exploring Uganda’s most iconic national parks and wildlife reserves along the way.

Being an Africa enthusiast, I hadn’t spent much time in our closer neighbor, South America. So, when I was offered the chance to visit the wildlife rich Pantanal in Brazil, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. With my only other South American experience being the magic of the Galapagos Islands, I had very high expectations and this new adventure did not disappoint.

Tucked away within the industrial sprawl on Denver’s outskirts, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge offers free wildlife viewing and nature hikes in an unlikely setting. With a strikingly different origin as a chemical weapons site and eventually an environmental issue, this land has transformed into a thriving refuge for bison, raptors, black-footed ferrets, and other classic Colorado species.
