Thanks to all for the info. Along with the replies here I also received numerous Private Messages and e-mails about various aspects of African safaris and several with information directly related to experiences at Lalapa Safaris.

I believe I have made up my mind and I'll be going with Lalapa pending anything unexpected (illness, earthquake, etc.)

I appreciate all the replies, info and sincerely helpful folks... Thanks.

For 2006 I believe I'll be off to Australia for a tour and hunt, my wife has been desiring to visit there for many years so I had better get over there before she comes back to her senses.
