Can I vote for a place and time? Zimbabwe in 1994. My first safari and the yardstick I measure all others by. Reasonable prices and wide open spaces with lots of game. Damn pity what has happened there now! Second place was Botswana. The Delta is unbelievable.

Tanzania was unique and I enjoyed learning Swahili and visiting with the Masai but.....seeing a great Lesser Kudu and not being able to take him sucked. Just like the Masailand bushbuck...and the gerenuk. In Zim, if there was a quota and you had the bucks....toa bunduki....piga..kufa!
