We are considering a self drive safari in Namibia in September and have thought of driving from Windhoek and finishing in Kasane in Botswana, I know the rental companies will charge a one fee but I wondered if anyone has done this trip and what the roads are like to the North along Caprivi. Also are there any major issues crossing the borders into Botswana and Zambia. I would love to hear from someone who has done this trip or if anyone knows of a books or video on the subject of travelling in that particular area.

Hi everyone - I am taking a trip to Spain in January and I really want to take a 3-4 day side trip to Morocco. I don't really want to do the day trip to Tangiers as I heard it's not really representative of the country and that it's constant pressure to buy things and just extremely touristy. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on tours that are good - I would love to do a desert camel tour. I'm also finding it difficult to get from Malaga to Marrakech easily (which seems to be where all the good tours are). Help.

hi what is the safety situation like these days in madagascar?

Hello,

We are two French guys 23 and 25 (best friend), technician and MSc student both working in conservation. We are planning to visit the Mara, more particularly the mara triangle, from the 23th to the 27th but for economic reason we would like to share the rent of vehicle for this trip . Our goal is to spend our time exploring the reserve, doing nice pictures. We must admit we're not o birding but of course if we see beeeater, roler, and raptor we will make a spot. One of us has 5 years experience in Kenya and have been serveral time in this place. I guess it will be possible to stop to meet masai on our way back if you wish but masai settlement near the gate are just for tourists with expensive price (we wont share the cost of the show).

We are planning to be selfcattered and camping at the Oloololo campisite where there is shower and toilet, it's the first who arrived who has the place, so we were planning early departure from Nairobi.

No care rental have been planned yet, we are open to any proposition...

Yours faithfully

Hello, me and my girlfriend have booked to go to Kololi for new year, staying at the Palma Rima hotel, we are a little uncertain what to do about money exchange as we have been advised you can not exchange in the UK, we are really looking forward to our visit as it is not your usual package holiday. Is there a higher risk of being bitten by mosquito's in in late December early January? We have been advised using Deet and malarone, we do understand these are preventative measures, we are so looking forward to this holiday, maybe you could give us some recommendations of restaurants and places to visit...

Hi

Next month, we are transiting back thro Dar - arrive 16:15 on domestic flight and leave 22:55 on Amsterdam flight.
It is a Thursday.

I am guessing that Julius Nyerere Airport does not have much to occupy us or somewhere nice to eat. Can anyone tell me if we have time to go into central Dar for dinner and if possible recommend a nice place?

Thanks

Nick

HI, i want to go on a safari tour. Therefore I would like YOU to join me. I plan to rent a car likely together with a driver to be flexible and to be able to change plans during the tour just as we like. Especially I would like to insist on getting up early to start the game drive in the Nationalparks as soon as possible and make also full use of the evening ours. In this point it would differ from the organised tours by tour operators. Furthermore I would prefer to stay in the serengeti not only in the crowded seronera camp but also one night in the northern Ikuma Campsite, close to the grumeti river. I have already two offers about renting a 4 wheel drive car with 6 seats and pop-up roof together with the driver, his salary, his food, his camping stuff, his camping and entrance fees for 80 Dollar per day. I would like to share these costs as well as the fuel costs and the entrance fee to the Ngorongoro Crater (200 Dollar PER CAR!). I am interested in visiting all national Parks of the northern circuit, means Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This would gonna be an at least 8 days tour but I am also happy if YOU join me for a part of this tour. I plan to do Night Game drives and walking safaris, which causes extra costs. I am looking for somebody who join me in june on this trip because the park fees are higher from July on. I guess this way it could become a great and affordable trip, looking for YOUR RESPONSE.
