South Africa Trip Report Index
Inspired by LyndaS, Im going to try to pull together all the South Africa trip reports I find.
This list is in no way comprehensive or listed in any particular order. Just the way I found them in a search. Im still putting this list together so there is more to come. If I have made any mistakes, let me know. Or feel free to add your own links :) Hope this is as helpful.

Stef and Lynda -
Boy, Fodor's owes the two of your "real big." Stef - Good start |
Stef,
I have probably 30 or so reports that I have saved the name and dates and links on Microsoft Word. If you really want to try to undertake this, I can E-mail what I have in Word. Or I can post directly, but then we will probably have duplicates. Mine are not in any particular order, but I tried to put reports by the same person together when I could find them. I have not ever tried posting from Microsoft Word back to the Fodor's site , but I assume that it works. It might have to be broken up into smaller sections. This would really be great if you decide to work on this, so let me know if you would like these, I'll need your E-mail. |
Wahoo - very exciting (:. Just in time for me to start planning my next trip.
Thanks for taking the index on - it's such a huge help to everyone. Sherry |
Thanks stef

FYI: my email is [email protected] if you would like me to add it to avoid dupes.
Otherwise, feel free to post. |
Brandywine was sitting on a variable goldmine of trip reports just waiting to be unleashed. Thanks again!!

Wow, this is great! Thanks, Stef.
|
Thankyou Stef, this is great! You have done a fabulous job!
Thanks again, Lynda |
This may have been my only trip report from my June 2004 trip report. It was a short 11 night safari that I forced in after a 10 night tour of Italy that Alexsandra wanted to do with her family.
We visited Kulefu in Lower Zambezi, Kaingo in South Luangwa and Chichele Presidential Lodge in South Luangwa: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34506076 http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34507426 http://www.kodakgallery.com/rocco/?y...p;month=5& |
I'll search for more after Im finished reading all of these :)

Thank you StefR!

I was looking at this thread in advance of our return to SA in September and discovered I hadn't linked to the sections in our RTW blog that covered Chobe, Victoria Falls and SA last year. So here's a link to the first of the relevant pages (you can navigate within the site.) - http://tinyurl.com/lkok4
