Default SAFARI

oh - and don't forget the potholing in the Okovango - I believe they have a
rare aquatic bat there...

are you looking for an African safari this year but unsure who to go
with, I can help you with that choice and organise your trip for
you


I am interested in doing an African safari, and if you could make
arrangements for me that would be great.

I am an entymologist from the University of Sdrawkcabmaps in Kalaallit
Nunaat in Greenland, and I would like to do an insect and gastropod
safari. I am particularly interested in researching the Somali Spotted
Slug which can only be found in the Nugaal Valley of Eastern Somalia.

I would like to spend about 5 days in the Nugaal Valley, and then
would like to visit the Central African Republic to seek out and
photograph the very rich termite life they have in the suburbs around
Bangui. If there's time, I would like to do some research into the
Camel Toe Spider which is endemic to the area.

There are other coutries that I'd like to visit too, such as the
Darfur region of Sudan (they have a rare species of halluconogenic
frog in the sewerage system), the Niger Delta in Nigeria (The venomous
Dachshund Flea is endemic here), and the Western Sahara where the
whole Sand Gnat biome can be found.

Please see what you can do about putting together a safari for me in
these places. If we are successful I would like to do similar safaris
to Colombia, Venezuela, and the Zululand area of South Africa.
