TRAVELER’S TAKE:
“Africa is the ideal travel destination right now for many reasons: pri-
vate lodges, open spaces, outdoor activities, and wildlife encounters.
Several safari lodges are responsible for national parks’ conservation
efforts, and local economies depend on travelers safely returning.”
