The World’s Most Expensive Safari, Las Vegas’ Luckiest Casinos and More Travel News

Go2Africa recently announced what purports to be the world’s most expensive wildlife safari. For $690,000, a family of four will visit six African countries (including Kenya, South Africa and the Seychelles) over 24 days.
