The one I was thinking of only had a little bit of walking.
I'm not very keen (for myself) on the idea of walking safaris. You don't
seem to get as near to most things, and I can't imagine the rest of the
company being delighted at having to wait for me to set up tripod etc.!
I like doing a few bird walks on a trip, I'm not so keen on the tracks and
signs stuff. It's always very interesting, but afterwards I can't remember
any of it, so can't label my slides.
CRAFT Club hitting hard, I'm afraid. :-(

Maybe.
I was hoping for that last year, but was surprised a couple of times when
four weeks from the departure date, a few trips had 'only one place left'
but were still going to charge the single supplement (in each case that
meant seven in the vehicle rather than six, which is a bit of a bummer
anyway)
The only time I've been in a full lodge or camp in July has been Treetops,
The Ark or Mountain Lodge, and they haven't been full on every visit.
Sometimes in the smaller camps we've been on our own, or just one other
couple.
I'm really p***** off with trying to organise a trip for one.
It's sooooooooooo much easier for two.
