It's just for all the times I've been to Africa the animals have been incidental. They're everywhere. I just never went on formal safari because it was WAY TOO much $$$$$.

I've always found there are only a couple of limiting factors to travel in Africa

1.Time
1A.Time
2.Money

That being said I've been to Egypt half a dozen times now and while it is crazy and the touts incessant, seeing the pyramids, Luxor, Philea, Abu Simbal NEVER gets old.

Oh and Cairo is a madhouse and dirty (Strangely why I love it) but it is a hoot. The Cairo museum is worth a day or two in and of itself.

The most danger I've ever felt in Egypt is in a car being driven. Then again that's everywhere.
