Re: 12 months 12 trips - Where would you go?

[ QUOTE ] I've yet to go on a Safari, take some time and do some research. Perhaps we'll be fortunate and one will chime in with a trip report. [/ QUOTE ] My mom climbed Mount Kilimanjaro a few years back. I'm sure she'll chime in shortly since I posted in this thread. [/ QUOTE ] Well, since you asked!! Yes, I did a two week Africa trip with one week devoted to the Kili climb and one week devoted to an African safari. FWIW I think every person should spend a day at Ngorogora Crater in Tanzania in their lifetime!! ok, quick trip report. . . Kili Climb -- I was in the top 3 in shape of our group of 14 -- but I got sick as a DOG puking, etc. on summit day due to altitude sickness. BUT I'm a tightass and it was an expensive trip so I got my sorry butt to the top for photos. Climb down is every bit as hard as the climb up~!! Yikes. Then on to the safari ---- OMFG, once in a lifetime experience. We were watching these wildebeasts by this pond and this one dumb [censored] was off on his own -- then we noticed the friggin lions in the brush ----- yep, we watched a kill right in front of us!! Some people would say gross but I'm telling you when you are seeing it you are awestruck!! Then the cap of the trip was spending an afternoon with the Masaii ---- WOW . . . Seriously I see some of the $$$ you poker players make and you should definitely put a safari trip on your life list of to-dos!!!! Hope this wasn't tl/dr!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] QFT although it's spelled "ngorongoro" (don't mean to be a nit, just makes it easier to look up). I did a 2 week safari with my family, spending 2 or 3 days at a time in various very nice resorts and spent every day driving around for 4 or 5 hours with our tour guide looking for animals. It was really an unbelievable experience and we got really lucky to see cheetahs and lions (which are rare to find) as well as every animal you would think of (elephants, gorillas, zebras, wildebeests, etc.) Anyway, it really was an amazing experience that I think everybody who has the time and money to enjoy should do at some point in time. PM me for details/tips if you're interested in going on safari.
