I suspect I may have to change the title of my blog once I've experienced African wildlife in the flesh!Peter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750958946589052344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721364324284272835.post-62514663832927979502013-06-12T10:43:41.108-07:002013-06-12T10:43:41.108-07:00After hearing about your trip, I wish I could go w...After hearing about your trip, I wish I could go with you!

It costs a little more but, as you point out, there are good reasons for it being classed as the "high season". It was a real struggle deciding between Kenya/Tanzania and Botswana, but what the heck, I can always save up for a return visit!Peter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750958946589052344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721364324284272835.post-72232547291506320692013-06-04T23:58:17.995-07:002013-06-04T23:58:17.995-07:00John, I agree that organising your own safari allo...John, I agree that organising your own safari allows you to focus on the activities you're most interested in, but I also think that by joining an organised tour, I can benefit from local knowledge and the fact that the logistics are taken care of for me too. Yes, it's a trade-off.Peter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750958946589052344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721364324284272835.post-14017041321901559562013-06-04T23:23:14.244-07:002013-06-04T23:23:14.244-07:00It looks like you have chosen a great route that w...It looks like you have chosen a great route that will expose you to a variety of wildlife and lanscape. The Chobe is great for its concentrated herds of wildlife along the river,and a mokoro trip in the Okavango is always beautiful.Hope you are traveling between May-October since that is the dry season and game viewing is much more productive.Hope your trip goes well and that you get to see plenty.Roger Brown Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787662831366768403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721364324284272835.post-25385163543840854502013-06-04T20:29:51.759-07:002013-06-04T20:29:51.759-07:00My last two trips were to Africa, South Africa and...My last two trips were to Africa, South Africa and Uganda respectively. These month long trips were by far the best places that I have visited. Far better than the Amazon, Costa Rica, Southeast Asia etc.<br />We rented a car and did our own safaris. No wasting time in gift shops, or ignoring birds like the organized tours do. I look forward to reports about your trip. Bon Voyage!<br />By the way, I have saved up about half the money I will need to go to Australia. Unfortunately I am strongly tempted to use the money to go to the Pribilof Islands next month.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008523039059312800noreply@blogger.com
