The Making of an Excellent African Adventure – Part 2

With all of the travel planning for our upcoming trip to Eastern Canada pretty much wrapped up, I should give you an update on our next big Adventure which is already in the planning stages.
I had mentioned in my previous post on the subject that we were planning on doing a trip down to Africa next year and the wheels are still in motion on that goal. Right now our plans are really to try and decide on what areas of Africa we will want to see and some of the major sites that are going to make it to our itinerary.

Obviously since seeing the animals are going to be a big part of this trip, being in the right places at the right time is a very important part of the planning since most of the large animals migrate from place to place depending on the seasons and weather. If you intend to see any of the “Big 5” animals (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhinoceros), you have to plan things well. Of course, there’s the weather that we need to consider.

Obviously many details to consider.

We will probably be looking to book our flights to Africa quite soon after we get back from our Eastern Canada adventure as we plan to book the flights on points and don’t want to wait too long and risk the disappointment of not getting the dates that we want.

This will be the last posting of our Africa Adventure until after we get back from our upcoming trip. I’ll also drop a hint that we have talked about a few options for our 2009 Excellent Adventure – one of them is so wild that I dare not even say it. Suffice it to say, that if that option becomes a reality, it will make our trip to Africa look like a trip to Disneyland in comparison. 😮

Stay tuned …
