Off to Afree-kah again!
 
All last minute, booked flights, pulled out the attire (surprisingly, even less than on previous visits... for sure will be way under the weight allowance; am getting real good at this and will still look great) and so will be out of here 31st May.

Stopping in Kenya upfront for 8/days visiting at Ol Pejeta, Lewa, Samburu. Then to Tanzania for 4/days before returning to Kenya for 6/days in the Mara.

Will be staying at Ol Pejeta Bush, Lewa Safari, Saruni/Kalama and SaSaab Camps. In the Mara at Saruni, Mara Plains and Sala's Camps. Thought to throw Olarro into the mix, but just couldn't add these days... boo-hoo! There's always the next time! And in Tanzania's Tarangire, Swala, Lemala and Oliver's.

It'll be a whirlwind for sure or is it the <i> "Amazing Race"</i> without the bitching! And for sure I won't be calling anyone an idiot/stupid... unless if talking to myself. :)

Back Stateside 19th June.

While the Amazing Race references are over my head, your itinerary looks fantastic. Have a great time.

That sounds great, I hope someday I can go on safari. <sad sigh> But I look forward to hearing about your trip when you return. Bon Voyage!!

Femi May 10th, 2010 05:25 PM

Have a fantastic trip! I think you and I will bend elbows in Nairobi. Non-elimination leg. Or Pit Stop. Not sure. ;)

Have a great trip Sandi! I've got 141 more sleeps.
Aloha!

sandi May 12th, 2010 07:59 AM

Thanks guys.

Denis - Glad to hear you'll be returning! Where to, I don't recall if you did say where/when.

Dick - yes, I was truly bummed not having gone last year. Am really looking forward to this visit.

matnikstym May 12th, 2010 08:24 AM

Back to South Luangwa Sandi. End of September.

sandi May 12th, 2010 12:48 PM

Good for you Denis.

matnikstym May 12th, 2010 06:48 PM

I too was bummed about not going to Africa last year. I did go to the San Diego Wild Animal Park with a group of Fodorites last year. It was fun, but not quite the same! Hippos this year! The last two Africa trips have been hippo-less.

LyndaS May 12th, 2010 09:55 PM

So glad you are going, Sandi! And you too, Dennis - I was just thinking about our fun safari in 'Little Africa' last year at the San Diego zoo - it was fun!

sallysaab May 12th, 2010 11:01 PM

Have a fabulous time sandi, looking forward to your report and pics.

ShayTay May 13th, 2010 12:04 AM

Enjoy your trip, Sandi! Dennis and Lynda, we may have a mini-Fodorite GTG at the San Diego Zoo next week. Wish you could be there!

Calo May 13th, 2010 06:06 AM

I'm happy for you, Sandi. It sounds like you'll be staying at some great places (as always).

Does that mean you're leaving the nailpolish at home? ;)
