carrieT,
gorgeous!! thank you so much for a great report.

robin, re smugmug, i just subscribed for the first time. it's pretty basic/user friendly. also, if you google "smugmug coupons" you'll find a yahoo link for 50% off the first year at any level of subscription (so, my basic cost $20 instead of $40.) hope this helps.

Carrie,
thanks for your reply. Hey, it might be a good idea to go together next time. I'm up for it. We will save on having to pay single supplements if we travel together, plus we both love it, safari'ing I mean. The only thing I would change is to maybe go a bit earlier in the season than my daughter and I went. But I definitely want to go on another one.

Keep me in mind if you are serious about another trip in the future.
I loved Suyan and Sayari camps, that was the most personal for me. My daughter prefers lodges, but there is nothing like the luxury tenting experience. Great fun. :)

Anita, thanks for taking a look at the photos! I still can't believe that I was actually there...it was better than a dream for sure.

Robin....I also wanted to tell you that if you sign up for SmugMug and then get other people to join, they give you $10 off your next membership renewal for everyone who joins (I think the people get $5 off so the coupon that Anita was talking about sounds much better (and I don't think I paid $40 for my membership either).

Sue, I will certainly keep you in mind for any future trips and I agree with you on the tented camps - I prefer them over lodges for sure. How is your photo and video processing going?

Speaking of video, I wanted to tell you that I got the Serengeti Imax movie(it's BluRay) and watched it today. I didn't want to watch it before I left, but now that I'm back I watched it and got a little teary-eyed because it was such a vivid reminder of my safari. I highly recommend it!

lovely pictures. is there a way to go to the next day with out going back to the original link, i am so computer illiterate.
i am planning 'my first safari" ( i say first now, as it previously was "my safari". i am having trouble deciding between Tanzania and Botswana.
i was leaning heavily towards Botswana until i started viewing your photos- which are exactly what i dream about.
So now its back to deciding again.

Hi Amycyma, thanks for taking a look. Yes, I put a link at the end of each description that will take you to the next set of photos.

I know it was a hard decision for me too, but since it was my first safari I picked Tanzania so that I might be able to catch some of the Migration.

Have fun planning!

Carrie

Carrie and Anita - thanks for tips regarding Smugmug - I used it for my Botswana trip report and loved it. It is now posted on this forum. Robin
