One last piece of advice: go to Africa with an open mind and with zero expectations!
I'll second that.Don't even bother making a "hit-list" of animals you want to take.I can remember sitting on the plane looking at pictures of Blue Wildebeest thinking why anyone would wantone of those ugly things on their walls...Then sureenough, three days later I'm releasing an arrow on a big bull.
The beauty of the animals there wont hit you until your actually sitting there looking at them.
