What happens when a group of 9—most of whom have never been on safari—venture out for the first time in Rwanda? You get jaw-dropping moments, tons of laughs, and a whole lot of wildlife. In this pre-tour adventure, nine of us head into the park hoping to spot giraffes, lions, elephants, and yes—even a rhino (spoiler: dreams do come true) in Akagera National Park. .

From 3-hour road trips and bush breakfasts to rhino sightings at the gate and giraffe-induced tears, this safari day was everything we hoped for and more. Whether it's your first safari or your fiftieth, you're going to love this travel vlog.

Watch until the end to see the close giraffe encounter, hippos, baboons, and a surprise elephant sighting that tied it all together perfectly.
