Re: African safari talk...recommendations?


Fenced or not the animals in most of the National parks all over Africa are pretty tame these days. They are so acclimated to vehicles and humans that you can pretty much drive right up and get a picture. I don't see much difference if the area is fenced or not.

Unfortunately, many of the hunting reserves are similar in that they are just selling tickets to shoot farm raised animals that have been released to be shot. A horrible situation that I have no regard for.

There are still areas that remain remote and where the animals are truly wild. But there you won't see as many. You have to work to get either an image or a trophy. I have never hunted trophy myself. Only for pot for my workers in remote exploration camps. And looking for poachers who I hate with a passion.

For me the geography, geology, flora, and fauna, and diversity of East Africa cannot be matched. Of course this perception was imprinted on me nearly half a century ago when I was a young man exploring mineral deposits. The migrations in the Serengeti was in the millions of animals backed then. The huge red Elephants of the Tana River in the North of Tsavo were a sight you can never forget.

I do miss those days...
