Sunset in Kwapa Camp, Botswana, Africa
Will this be the start of your adventure?
Where elephants don't have to worry about being an elephant
And you can have a great close up view of them
Where lions eat their fill
While you're tent is in the middle of their territory
Where there are hundreds of bird species
And you can also spread out your wings
