How did you know it was Africa for 2004? If you have a good outfitter you will love it and you will go back. Check refrences though, My wife Barb and I put two hunts back to back. The second out fitter " sucked" We did all right but poor attitude and other stuff made us uncomfortable. If you want the name of our first P.H. and I can not say enough good about him let me know. To give you an idea of how Africa gets to you I will tell you of our departure from Joburg.
The 747 started to move down the runway, my wife started to cry. I asked her what was wrong and Barb told me she had never been so home sick in her life.
I told her it was all right, we would be home in about 19 hours including driving time from the airport. She replied. " No not that, I am home sick about what we are leaving behind." I knew how she felt Africa changes you. This was even after an outfitter we could never recomend for our last ten days. We were with Walter Enslin for our first 19 days Strange, how women can be, Barb never wanted to go but I could not leave her out of somthing like that trip. Now she can not wait to go back.
Do some sight seeing while there, somthing like Kruger, you will not forget it.

Do it while you are young enough to enjoy it!!!!
