Go Wild: Why You Should Visit The Four Seasons Safari Lodge

The following phrase from the 2010 Ryan Murphy film Eat Pray Love captures the essence of travel: I just want to marvel at something- Elizabeth Gilbert (Julia Roberts). We live in a world where everything appears commodified. A vibrant sunset or budding flower makes for a great Instagram story, but people do not savor the significance of either. For people working on the water, pink skies are a sailor's delight as the weather in the morning will not be stormy, while pink in the morning a sailor takes warning as it is a harbinger of poor weather. That budding flower could be the creative fodder for the next great piece of art or scientific discovery.

Just as Gilbert went on her self-discovery odyssey, any who partakes in an Eat Pray Love- esque adventure needs to visit is The Four Seasons Safari Lodge. This Four Season property is located in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Here are some of the reasons why you should visit the "heart of wildlife action".

1. Wild Life: The Serengeti National Park allows visitors to witness the Great Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and buffalo) in their natural habitat. While exploring some of the world's best-preserved ecosystems, you can see The Great Migration. The Great Migration is the annual five hundred-mile trek wildebeests take each year, searching for better food sources. The Four Season Safari offers game drives, hot-air balloon rides, picnics in the bush, safari photography classes, walking safaris, and a guided birding and nature trail for guests to learn about this natural phenomenon.

2. Culture: The Four Season Safari provides its guests with a holistic Serengeti education. At the onsite Discovery Centre, guests learn about the park's natural, cultural, and historical significance. The property works with Maasai tribe guides to offer guests walking tours.

3. Luxury Accomdations: This property is home to seventy-seven rooms, twelve pool suites, and five pool Vilas. Each room offers state-of-the-art accommodations with contemporary African décor. The hotel created its raised walkways to not impact the savannah's delicate ecosystem.
