Where are you off to next? South Africa? Botswana? Tanzania? Zambia?

Tell all...where are you staying, when do you leave, is this your first visit to Africa, etc.

Personally, here are my plans for this November:

D'Oreale Grande Hotel, Emperors Casino, Kempton Park, Johannesburg (1 night)

Linyanti Bushcamp, Linyanti Reserve, Botswana (3 nights)

Baines Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana (3 nights)

Chiefs Camp, Mombo Concession, Okavango Delta (3 nights)

Kwando Lebala, Kwando Concession, Botswana (2 nights)

Kwando Lagoon, Kwando Concession, Botswana (2 nights)

Kwando Kwara, Kwara Concession, Botswana (2 nights)

Michelangelo Towers, Sandton, Johannesburg (1 night)

Sabi Sabi, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa (3 nights)

Mateya, Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa (2 nights)

????, Sydney, Australia (2 nights in a 5* hotel somewhere in the Harbor or Historic Rocks area...any suggestions?)


I am very excited about this trip as it will be my first time in Botswana, my 4th time in the Sabi Sand and my first time in Sydney. The weather should be very hot, but I am just happy to be going and I will enjoy some comfort (Air Conditioning and Plunge Pool) once I get to the South African lodges.

Biggest challenge of this trip will be the weight limits since I take along two DSLR camera bodies, 3 - 4 lenses, other camera gear and my laptop.

I look forward to returning with a trip report following this safari.
