Passage to Africa prides itself on the exclusive nature of their trips, valuing the privacy of the clients above all else. However, when their client is Ellen DeGeneres, sharing the experience in great detail is mandatory!
Ellen recounted highlights of her recent safari trip in South Africa, mixed in with her own humble humour to every situation, never more so than her take on “comfort stops”.
Watch the hilarious video below:
Out on a game drive, Ellen, Portia, and their guide had spent half an hour following some honeymoon lions. As they were leaving, another safari vehicle pulled up. As guides do, they chatted and exchanged pleasantries, and as guests do, they studiously avoided making eye contact with each other. Shortly after, the wife in the other safari vehicle exclaimed: “Look, it’s Ellen and Portia!” Her husband quickly grabbed the binoculars, shouting: “Where, where?!” Ellen casually remarked: “Now I know how the Big Five feel!”
