Fly/Drive/EATSafari
 

Looking at the Micato (and similar) brochure, it seems like when you are not in a vehicle, they are feeding you. I adore elephants but would rather not look like one. Comments?

Do they force feed you like they do hogs?

ps - maybe you need to bulk up a little, probably look good on you.

Geez, tom - maybe I need to train for this....

Also, you should check out the Naked Wilderness travel agency for safaris. Probably more towards you personality.

ps - you want more comments? :-)

Not from you.

:-)) Tom, you make me laugh with your posts!

Really and truly I never once felt stuffed or that all I was doing was eating, sitting, sleeping. Which is all that we did, but.....

There is something about the outdoors (just ask anyone who has volunteered as a Scout Leader) that makes you hungry, but not overly so!

I don't know - it always seemed we were on the go, maybe not a strenuous 'on the go' like a European cruise, but I didn't feel lazy, rested, sedentary, etc. like a Hawaii Vacation. It was somewhere in between that, and I think the body regulates to tell you how much to eat on each type of vacation. Or at least that's what I believe and I'm sticking to it!!!!

Even at the Carnivore I didn't feel stuffed. I don't know, maybe it's watching all those lions scarf down a wildebeest that makes the appetite a little smaller....

I have found it a challenge on every safari not to overeat. This is not just a Micato "problem." On the more active ones where walking plays a big role, at least I burn some calories. But even then it is not brisk walking because too fast of a pace and you resemble the fleeing prey.

I once went with some other women who actually brought tight clothes thinking by the end of the safari they would fit comfortably. They were wrong.
