We arrived in Ethiopia and were told that we’d be spending most of our time with the GSE team from Sweden. I was pumped to hang out with more people our age, but a few of our group members were a little skeptical of a larger group and the change in dynamics.
But so far the Swedes have been a pleasant surprise. The team is made up of four members (Malin, Justecia, Kajsa and Daniel) and their leader (Larry). All of them are between the ages of about 29-32ish and in varying professions like ourselves.
The only problem is the jealousy. Raging blinding jealousy.
After hearing about their 3-day safari in Tanzania and their additional 1-day safari, seeing about 20 female and male lions around a watering hole (!), snorkeling in Zanzibar, huge parties with hosts, pet tortoises in their host homes and other general awesomeness…we were a little shocked.
None of us are unhappy with our experience. At all. Just to be clear. We’ve had some wonderful cultural experiences and we feel like we’ve seen many different sides of Africa. But it’s hard not to be a little envious of a few of their touristy treks.
