I think making any kind of an advanced plan is very difficult for many people. Also an awful lot of us are into immediate gratification and planning a safari 2-3 years out is just not immediate.

What I've told several people is if you wait unitl you have all the money for your safari in hand without it being earmarked for something else you will never go on safari. The best way to get there is to put down a small deposit even 3 years out and then make a plan to save the rest. Even some pretty major safaris can be booked with $1000-$5000 down. Once the initial deposit is down you are committed and it becomes easier to focus on saving some money. Now you have a specific goal and not some fuzzy dream.

And yes you have to put the new car, motor home, boats, 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles and maybe the double rifle and some of those spendy smaller adventures off but if that's what it takes..........

Also as suggested stop writing checks, using cash and 14 store credit cards. Get one major credit card with a mileage plan that works for you and use that sucker for literally everything. I fly to Africa Busines and First class and believe me there is no way in the world I could afford that if I had to pay for it.
