Erica Varga - The Journey
Erica Varga, owner of Worlds Away Safaris, specializes in adventure travel in Africa.
"It's like another world!", exclaim many of Erica's travelers. Africa offers you a rare escape into an uninhibited environment void of the clatter and distractions present in our modern world. The journey will alter perceptions of your own culture and will have a profound impact on you personally.
Erica has been traveling to the remote places of East and Southern Africa for over thirty years. In the mid-1990s, she and a guide led guests from around the globe on overland safaris across Botswana and into Zimbabwe for a leading company in the safari industry.
Through the years she has retained many personal and professional relationships that, together with her enthusiasm and work experience in the bush, contribute significantly to her ability to design an exemplary safari for you.
Safari is a Swahili word meaning, “journey”. Erica promises to design a safari that provides an opportunity for you to completely immerse yourself in Africa’s wild landscapes. It is the goal of Worlds Away Safaris to make this a very personal journey for you and one of the most rewarding lifetime experiences that you will have.
Erica and her daughter, Kya, live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where they enjoy adventure at home through kayaking, mushroom hunting, hiking and other outdoor activities.
