Tom,

Not sure you've seen this. Look Leopards all over Tubu Tree....... You should definitely try and go! :)

Thanks Hari.
Tubu Tree 15 Jun - 15 Nov $928 pppn plus $219 single sup. Leopards are good, but that good??? I think our old friend safarichuck is in that area, or at least Botswana, now, as we speak. But I rather doubt if we will hear from him again, he got nauseated by this forum. Like so many others have :(

Hari-

thanks for the photo link, check out the great photo of the now grown cub at Mala Mala-she is the first photo on this week's cyberdiary. And the three cubs are still thriving with many viewings this past week. love those leopards!

LAL, ShellCat just above said recently posted here in her "love this format" post that she had left forum quote "After the complaints and bickering, I went away-". Perhaps she can expound on that? Maybe because of the forum format change a year ago, maybe because of between participants? Maybe people just get tired of the same thing? I don't know, but seems to me participation is off this last year or so. Maybe interest in safari Africa is waning? Maybe there is another internet forum that is drawing people?

Would be interesting to hear from everyone else on this.

Participation is definitely off and there's more Middle East than Africa, it seems. And not much new or interesting. It's gotta be the economy for one thing: see the filmwill post about where to go for newbies. Tnen over on the Asia board he announced Africa was just too pricy.
But that still doesn't explain "nauseated." He seemed like a pretty easygoing type...

LOL, Tom. Yes, I agree - for example., someone like Temba was kicked off fodors by the editors for being exactly that - "nauseating" .......

RE Tubu Tree. I have no idea - I have never been there. Just knew how much you liked Leopards. Hence the link.......
