Whatever we might think, short safaris seem to be The Thing.
The other day I was in a local travel agent's. As the assistants were
both on the phone, I started to browse the brochures and soon homed in
on the Safari one - by a company I didn't know. A quick shufty
revealed several short (I mean 3 or 4 nights ex Maun) safaris in
Botswana before an excited clerkess was available (only to be
disappointed when I was just booking a seat on the bus for the camera
club's day trip!)
Next, I browsed the Trailfinders brochure, where I find:
Gorillas through the mist: a walking safari in Rwanda - 3 nights ex
Kigale.
Fly-in Masai Mara (2 nights ex Nairobi)
... and several seven nights safaris.
