Of course. I noticed that pricing is much more favorable for us in SA.

You can fly from the USA for <$800. Fly to Joburg, buy a diesel 4x4, kit it out or there are a lot already kitted out. The Rand has taken a big dive- like closing at nearly 16.5 today. August it was ~12.50. At the rate it has been moving, maybe at 18 in a couple months or sooner. It briefly hit...

Don't wait to book. Many of the campsites are booked out already. Try Maun Self Drive 4x4 to put the whole itinerary together quickly.

There is the Rhino Charge in Zambia.

If only the Zambian government issued permits based on good conservation techniques. Zambia and many(most?)hunting operators are more concerned about the short term financial benefits. I'm not a tree hugger and have nothing against hunting if it has conservation in mind. The government does not...

At this point, all the petitions have done is put them on notice. Maybe a couple (GMA's)concessions might be taken "off the list" if the wildlife are lucky. Otherwise, come out for a self drive while there are plenty of predators to see. Self drive or not. Camping, bushwalking and game drives...

http://victoriafalls24.com/blog/2015/05/19/zambia-lifts-ban-on-hunting Our immediate response has given the Zambian government pause.

I must confess, I do have kinda of a hidden agenda. Along with a few other people, we were in the process of bringing online a conservation project this year. Included was a proven, high tech solution to poaching. With the actions of the Zambian government, most likely it will go to another...

The problem in Zambia, wildlife numbers are not huge. Hunting permits seem to be determined more on the income it will bring in than sustainability of each species. And many of the hunting operations try to maximize income, often disrupting each pride of lions which has a domino effect that...

Will you voice your opposition to this and sign the petition? There maybe a day many of you want to do a self drive camping or fly-in safari through the parks of Southern Africa, and there will not be much wildlife to experience unless we fight the battles now.

Your best bet. One Visa with a chip(for international travel) as primary card. Google best Visa credit cards to help you decide which one, according to your normal usage to best benefit(check Creditkarma.com also). Get a MasterCard and an Amex as backups. You don't need 2 Visas or 2 Mastercards...

Try the msafiri-africa google group. They are in East Africa and active with T4A.

Rooftop tents and ground tents are normally used in Southern Africa. The 4x4 hire companies generally provide well equipped vehicles.

HWANGE TRACK CLEARING REPORT. July 2012 An expedition with a purpose - it can't get any better. The 4x4 Club Zimbabwe recently completed its main annual conservation project. Once again this was in the form of track clearing. At the behest of National Parks, the Lion Research Unit, and...

We are looking for one or two volunteers who want to join us on this trip with their 4x4. If you may be interested please give this a read and contact us, thanks! ---------------------------------------------------- KUNENE RIVER RAFTING EXPEDITION & DOCUMENTARY SERIES One of just five...

Plenty of South Africans and Zimbabweans going. Giving Expo members a chance to participate. Nothing like clearing tracks while in the African bush. Lions, buffalo and elephants, oh my!

The western section of the park is amazing. I came across waterholes that were not on any maps I had at the time, including topo maps. Lots of wildlife- especially herds of buffalo and ellies. I camped not to far from the waterholes, so the game often past by quite close, including lion, leopard...

Or How to see Hwange and wildlife on the cheap (campsite fees are normally something like $100/site/nite nowadays- not cheap). This was posted on a 4wd newsletter, but I am sure they would welcome a few yanks on this endeavour. I drove and bush camped in the '90's some of the Western tracks...
