The finance &amp; marketing company I represent was having a regional conference for the weekend. I basically took a leap of faith when I made the decision to go. It was somewhat of a last-minute decision so I never finalized my travel logistics. No joke, I didn&#8217;t even know if I&#8217;d have a bed to sleep on once I got there. The hotel was fully booked. I packed my car with pillows and blankets in case I had no other option come nightfall. It was close enough I probably could have driven back and forth if I really needed to. Luckily, some of my colleagues pulled through and let me crash in their room.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27794 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=768,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=225,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=576,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1152,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1536,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 2048w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=218,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=305,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=600,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=384,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=915,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5399.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kalahari is a hotel, indoor waterpark, and convention center that is entirely safari-themed.

Trifari"},"description":"For more than a decade, I have been documenting my misadventures on The Rocky Safari while exploring destinations all around the world. I may be an introvert at heart, but I love stepping outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to numerous solo travel adventures, I've learned to embrace long-term travel as a lifestyle. Now my primary goal is to help you explore unusual places, travel longer, and design a remote lifestyle.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com"]}]}},"modified_by":"Rocky Trifari","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2293,height=2560,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624-scaled.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2293,height=2560,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624-scaled.jpg",2293,2560,false],"thumbnail":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=150,height=150,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=269,height=300,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",269,300,true],"medium_large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=857,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",704,786,true],"large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=917,height=1024,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",704,786,true],"1536x1536":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1376,height=1536,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",1376,1536,true],"2048x2048":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1834,height=2048,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",1834,2048,true],"post-thumbnail":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=260,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",260,290,true],"fluida-featured":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=284,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",282,288,true],"fluida-featured-lp":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=417,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",417,290,true],"fluida-featured-half":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",800,290,true],"fluida-featured-third":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",512,290,true],"fluida-header":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1250,height=230,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",1250,230,true],"fluida-lpbox-1":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=216,height=140,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",215,139,true],"fluida-lpbox-2":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=312,height=350,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",192,215,true],"fluida-lpbox-3":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=162,height=200,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",161,199,true],"fluida-featured-square":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=512,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",512,512,true],"fluida-featured-square-large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=1024,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_5390-e1511279165624.jpg",1024,1024,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Rocky Trifari","author_link":"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/author\/therockysafarigmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":2,"uagb_excerpt":"On Friday, I began my road trip to Kalahari in Eastern Pennsylvania.
