It is beautifully accentuated with Spanish moss hanging from giant oak trees, blooming azalea bushes and cobblestoned streets between antebellum style houses. Savanna is the probably the only American city to be gifted to the US president. Even General Sherman was so spellbound with Savannas beauty that he not only spared Savanna, but presented it for Christmas to the presiding head of state Abraham Lincoln.

From Boasting music varying between blues, jazz and alternative, to historic tours in museums, Savanna offers everything and more. Kayaking in the ocean with the dolphins is exactly the sort of thing you come to expect from this heavenly city.


If you are more of nature explorer Georgia offers you options to rent family friendly cabins in the wilderness of the Blue Ridge Mountains up North. These Cabins can be rented by the night or week and present you with an immense scope of outdoor activity bringing you closer to nature. You can go hiking through the mountains or fishing in the lakes or rivers. For more thrilling experiences horse riding and tubing down slow rivers would suffice.
