Hi,

We are looking at going to Africa in 2012. It is still in its planning stages. So i am looking for some input on the following:

When is the best time to go? I am getting views that cover cost, rainy season, the lack of bush cover in winter and the number of young animals. At this point I am thinking Oct-Nov.

If anybody has some suggestions for a tour operator as well, feel free to post them as well. We are not planning to rent a car and I am thinking of flying to Cape Town from Canada and spending 2-3 days there. Then joining a tour that balances 1-2 Game reserves plus Vic Falls. The tour would get us back to J'berg or CT for the trip home. So far the early favorite is Londolozi which lists a half dozen or so these types of tours.

We are not beach people so there are no plans to visit the coast.

Thanks,

don
