There may be something with being much closer to Africa in

It doesn't seem to work the other way around. I remember sitting in a
restaurant in Etosha in 2001. The (local) assistant manager of Namutoni
Camp came to our table and sat with us. We chatted for quite a while. He
wanted to know about our home country (Netherlands) and was visible
surprised that we didn't have wildlife like elephants wandering
about.... :-)
