  • African Safari, has anyone done it?

    I am contemplating a 2 week trip to Tanzania during early February, which is supposed to coincide with the Great Migration in the Serengeti. Has anyone done it? Any suggestions, cautions, warnings, etc? Did you see as much as the promoters claim you will?

    I haven't, but my folks have. They had no complaints.

    Warnings: Tanzania is cowboys country...dont' wear any green and gold.

      Luckily, I own not one piece of Packer apparel!

          I just emailed a friend in the UK who recently came back from her 3rd or 4th trip. I'll send you any and all info she forwards.

            Just checked the state department...apparently the favre situation has sparked a bloody civil war in Tanzania.

                    I love Taz the Tasmanian Devil. Oh wait...

                    I can't run no more
                    With that lawless crowd
                    While the killers in high places
                    Say their prayers out loud
                    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
                    A thundercloud
                    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

                      My in-laws (who LOVE Africa) have been a few times--like it well enough to once plan a trip with a few family members. They brought back some very cool pictures.

                          Naw, my killing days were over a long, long time ago, for many reasons. Now I stalk and observe, unarmed.

                              Which is why I came here for information!
                              It's looking like a "go". Should know within a month or so.
