## Resource

A two-month-old baby elephant. A pack of 20 African wild dogs — the most endangered predator on the planet — running straight at the jeep. A male lion close enough to touch. June joined us live to walk through her Adventures by Disney South Africa trip, and it absolutely delivered. If you've ever looked at an ABD price tag and wondered whether it's actually worth it, this is the episode that answers that question honestly. In this episode: Why June chose Adventures by Disney over independent travel for South Africa — and what you genuinely can't replicate on your own The full itinerary: Cape Town (including a Table Mountain weather pivot), the Knysna coast, Kapama Game Reserve near Kruger National Park, and a post-tour add-on to Victoria Falls Big Five in the first 24 hours — plus African wild dogs, hyenas, and a female leopard carrying breakfast back to her cubs What's included vs. out of pocket on a land-based ABD, and how the lodging compares (spoiler: Kapama rivals the Four Seasons Maldives) Health prep, packing strategy, laundry logistics, currency — the practical stuff ABD doesn't always cover We also got into the week's DCL policy changes: the alcohol policy reduction, selfie stick rules, door decoration limits, and the Disney Adventure–specific Palo age change and room service fee "The only place I've ever stayed that was on par with that was the Four Seasons Private Island in the Maldives."— June, on Kapama Game Reserve Listen now and join the conversation!
