This forum needs to be split
It's probably been said before. This forum needs to be split in two, one forum for "sahara" Africa & middle east, another forum for "safari" Africa (sub-sahara).
I have trouble finding the safari-related topics on this board, and it's annoying to have to look for them every time. I hardly frequent this board anymore, and spend most go my time in SafariTalk now.

With so few posting of either type, I have no problems with finding safari related ones.
Now we have a forum this with little activity. If it is split, we would have two forums with almost zero activity!!!
Do you think splitting it would increase safari postings? I doubt it.

I think it might help to have a specific "Safari" forum....whether that be East or South Africa or wherever. I find the <u>subject</u> difference between a <u>tour</u> to Egypt or Morocco and a <u>safari</u> to Africa to be off-putting. Two totally different experiences. There might be more postings to a safari forum by those who go.
It would also be wonderful if one could include a few photos in a trip report like can be done on Safari Talk.

Funny how the Europe forum manages to struggle along with many more countries than this one. If you are interested in specific countries use View by Country option. I am only interested in N. Africa and the ME, but I have no trouble finding those threads.

This splitting was suggested/discussed about 5 years ago? Obviously nothing came of it.
I suppose splitting it couldn't hurt it much
.
I can understand why Safari Talk gets more postings. But Fodors should have more here because it is a better known travel site. Trip Adv continues to amaze me with the know nothing indiscriminate reviews by travelers. "Best safari ever" - of course, it was their ONLY safari ever!!

No need for splitting
