African safaris are frequently very expensive and lavish.  But, there is an alternative to the high priced wine and cheese safaris.  There is even a benefit to the less expensive tour.  The group is tiny.  We camp safely where the animals are and the other people are not.  And, the chef is the guide, the company owner and the jeep driver all in one.  I am looking for two or more clients to accompany me to Africa for a tour of Botswanna, South Africa and Zambia.  The highlights include visiting 2 of the top 10 game reserves in Africa.  Good chances of seeing Africa’s largest herds of wildebeest and zebra and the elephant eating lions of Savuti.  We’ll visit Khama Rhino Reserve, Makgadigadi Gamer Reserve, Moreni Game Reserve of the Okavonga Delta and the famous Chobe National Park.  Most nights we camp in safe, comfortable tents perched on platforms atop the jeeps.  Sean Stones is our guide and chief cook.  Some clients say the trip is worth it just for the campfire cooking.  There are openings the last two weeks of September when the wildebeest migration just might be underway.

10 days in Botswana, 4 days in South Africa.

This safari includes the following highlights; the scenic Waterburg region of South Africa, one of the largest reserves in Africa – The Central Kalahari, one of Africa’s most well known ‘Natural wonders’ – the Okavango Delta, the third largest Zebra and Wildebeest migration and two of Africa’s top 10 rated game reserves; Moremi game reserve on the shores of the Delta and Chobe game reserve in Northern Botswana.

An excellent all round safari offering exceptional game viewing, Excellent birding, and a variety of changing ecosystems.

You will also be spoiled with fine food, wine and a qualified guide (humor for free).

Dear friends,

It will soon be time to paddle among the many islands of Ha Long Bay. We will live on a beautiful support boat, with cabins above deck and bathrooms with hot showers in each room. In the daytime we will paddle to floating fishing villages, explore sea caves and visit the local people. When we return to the boat, there will be gourmet meals of fresh fish, shrimp, crab, squid and many other Vietnamese delights.

After five days we will return to Hanoi and then head up north to Ba Be Lake. We will stay at the village chief's house, up on stilts and with bamboo floors. We will go swimming in a jungle waterfall, go to Hill Tribe Market day and spend a day paddling the Ba Be river. The last couple of nights will be spent at a small lodge near the lake.

As many of you know, I have been building schools in this area for several years. On the last night we invite the teachers to the lodge for dinner. With the help of interpreters we can ask questions and find out what life is like for the young teachers who get their assignments in this mountainous region. We will also have the opportunity to visit a couple of the schools we have built. On this trip a writer friend from a national magazine will be joining us. She will be doing a story on traveling Vietnam.

We need at least two more guests to join before I can start reserving hotels. I will lead this trip myself and look forward to showing you the many special places Vietnam has to offer.

Life's blessings,
