Erik,

RSA is good for plains game & if it takes your fancy, Rhino, but nothing else.......and (IMO) there is no such thing as a truly wild Lion in RSA.......but I was taught to be cautious in these things.

With the current strength of the Rand there are less expensive places at the moment. Tuli Block Botswana for one. It's also a little wilder as they have Elephants and Lions wandering through from time to time.

The frozen Leopard trick is ........ummmmm......not uncommon, but I've had loved to be sitting next to the two guys when they discovered they had both been screwed!......it really appeals to my sense of humour.
