Has anyone here ever been on Safari?

WTF???

Venezuela ain't no safari land!!!

no shit SHERLOCKA. never said it was. what I DID say was that I have the opportunity to travel to these other places out of the country basically because my husband has lived there and knows people in these areas where we could stay during a visit - BUT - I would much prefer my first trip out of the States to be an African Safari.

SA is great. I drove the coast from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town (known as the Garden Route). Spent 3 or 4 days in Cape Town and then went up and did a 3 day Safari on one of the private parks next to Kruger Park. It was magical.

That's pretty much exactly what I want to do. Cape Town is touted by many as the most beautiful city in the world. Would you agree?

Smurfy - I have been on Safari's in both South Africa and Zimbabwe. Best vacations I have taken. I plan on doing one again now that my kids are grown and can enjoy it. Think of it as an investment in your life - you will never forget the memories.

I work with a South African.

If you were to listen to him for 5 minutes you would not even entertan that thought (most beautiful city...)

Prague is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the World, the same with St. Petersburg and Firenze.

cape town???

Cape Town is one great city. You will be pulling the want ads and looking for real estate before you leave. The amazing thing about that drive though is that you go through these fantastic beach towns that only have about 10k people. They are just ideal and you wonder - where is everybody.

Now - I went before the big change in government. I know safety has always been an issue but I don't know how much it has changed in the last 10 yrs.

I will say this, I liked Zimbabwe as much or more than South Africa. Victoria falls is a little bit of heaven on earth. You can go there, stay at the Falls Hotel, Raft down the Zambizi river, and drive down to their National Park, Hwange and have a really great trip and it will be a lot cheaper. Problem is it is more elephants and less cats than I think you will see in SA.

Ever taken a safari trip to South Africa or the like? I'm very intrigued by it and I want to learn more about it. Man, I would love to plan a trip like that sometime in my life. But for a full-on trip like that, looks like we're talking $15-20K?

Great reviews on it

Some journals on this site..

Def a must see in the future.. Go for it..

Smurf,

Another thing to cheapen up your trip, if you go in the USA summer, it is winter there and most of the Safari's are almost half price then. It is cold on the morning and evening drives but you just need a jacket and you are fine.

The brush is dead then and you can see more animals than summer where it is full grown.

thanks for moving this thread, assholes.

this thread is about taking a vacation, not about hunting.
