Anyone on safari at the moment, or anyone going soon? Just wondered if there were any up and coming trip reports to look foreward too.

ME! and safarimama
at least!

Can't wait to board

SV

Leaving on March 13 back April 10, but I'm not good at writing trip reports. Will try this time as I'm taking a travel writing class and could make it a project. I'm very good at giving advise if asked.

Safarimama,

Don't feel bad I too am guilty of not writing a trip report, I started one but didn't finish so never put it on the board.
I'm just selfish and hope everyone else will write one as I love reading them.
With so much critism over correct English I didn't feel mine would be good enough.
Where are you going? I would love to hear more.

I'm going to Botswana and Zambia; posted the intinerary somewhere???? It's very ambitious. Want to see a lot.

Safarimama,

I am so jealous, Botswana has always been my dream, but my DH thought it too remote so we went to Tanzania, which I have to say we thoughly enjoyed. But Botswana is still my top to do. I think now he may come round to it, except we are now in a 30 day consultation period at work for redundancies, although I know my job is safe there is no oppportunity to boost my wage packet, Damm those bankers that are sitting well healed.

I'm going March 18 - April 8, I'll post itinerary and trip report before I leave!

We still have eight weeks to go then its 12 nights in Zimbabwe,4 at each, Little Makalolo in Hwange, Ruckomechi at Mana pools, then Matetsi nr Victoria Falls followed by 12 nights in the greater Kruger area. All booked before the credit crunch!
Looking forward to it so much.

Keah05,

Hopefully you'll maintain your position. Mobiles are a good way to go in Botswana.

OK guys, I think we need to start to new thread called

SAFARIS 2009

and we should post our itinerary. It would help me too when I finally surface form this tax sh_t and get back to reading trip reports & posting them in the index...

I'll start it.

Leaving this week for MalaMala (Rattrays). Just had an email from them to say that Wesley resigned at end of Feb. Hope this does not reflect more unrest at the camp since the strike.
