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
