World Malaria Day 2008
A river expedition up the Zambezi needs experienced ground support for all or a part of a couple months starting at the end of March 2008. This would require drivers with their own vehicle or rental 4x4. They should be relatively skilled offroad drivers with out issues regarding the wildlife...
Isn't a plb a one off thing that you can take anywhere? A Sat phone isn't cheap.
I am going to Africa and the cellular thing has good coverage -in all the wrong places if you are going to remote places in a 4x4. I plan on staying there for a about a year.
When Sh't happens, it happens big time.
300mm will do the trick normally. Most times you just get shots where they are right there in front of you and a 35mm is your best lense.
The game is pretty much habituated to people and vehicles so they aren't too flighty to head off at your arrival. I have driven within a few feet of lions...
Look at a map. The distances are huge in Southern Africa. So,I would suggest having the vehicle picked up in Maun. Tour from there to-Moremi, Savute, Chobe, Vic Falls and then its depends on how much time you have left. But, if you have't allotted a month for your safari/vacation, it seems like...

I didn't have one of the same make-I was touring Africa with one built in my 4x4-but if it isn't as close to level as possible when parked it is not as efficient.
What I learned to do is level with bulb jacks and a circular 3" diameter level on the frig.On 12 volt the ones Ive seen just keep...
I have been using a rooftop tent in Southern and East Africa since 1996. The thing has been a godsend. On my many safaris living out of it for months on end, rain storms, herds of elephants and gnus passing thru the campsite, hyenas riping anything apart smelling like food-tires too(drove over...
