 | | Dreaming of Africa? | | It used to take a sabbatical and enough supplies to last a year to forge into "the great unknown" of Africa. But with daily flights from the U.S. and a newly developed tourism infrastructure, Africa today is more accessible than ever. Southern Africa offers the absolute best of all worlds: easy access and true adventure away from maddening crowds, remote, unspoiled wilderness, an astounding diversity of habitats and unique and personal wildlife encounters. Sound appealing? Click here to start making your Africa dream a reality. |

Local Bites: Swinging Safari Cocktail
Trip: South Africa Safari & Multisport Adventure |
| On the wide-open plains of Africa grows a tree uncultivated by man. Scientists call it "Sclerocarrya birrea," but it's more commonly known as the Marula tree. The tree only grows in one area on the entire planet: the warm, frost-free regions of subequatorial Africa. It's from the fruit of this mystical tree that Amarula Cream liqueur is born. |
 | | Method: | | Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a tall glass. Sip over a bonfire after a day in the bush, telling stories of the day's adventures. | | Click here for Swinging Safari Cocktail recipe View all of our Local Bites recipes here! |
