I know I have posted about this before, but here is your last chance for the OCT. 2006 trip to Kenya.
Sept. 30-oct. 15 th
ground cost 2700. USD (does not include flight to kenya, varies based on where from of course)
It is a probably half the price of any other safari of this caliber.
Meet dpcers, take wild photos, have a groovy time : )

I would have really been up for this but I'm already scheduled for a trip to Greece and Italy that same time. Darn.

Ok hears the deal... if every DP member donates $10 and a picture of yourself to me I can go to the Safari and take hundreds of photos. I will then come home and paste your picture on the ones I took and we can say we all went. Deal?

Ellamay I must have missed original threads - do you have an itinerary/ accommodations breakdown for the trip?
If so, please can you send to my hotmail address?
Our ADSL has been down for 2 days, will likely be down for several more and we're accessing VERY intermittently via an ancient modem. I can't access my main email at all, just hotmail as per my profile.
THANKS

I missed the earlier thread too, and I really want to do this.

02/25/2006 05:36:44 PM · #17

Thanks for the interest, I am not sure where the previous thread is. But basically it is an invite for a GTG in Kenya. The trip is oct 1-15, 2006, the ground costs are 2700.00 USD If you send me a PM with your email address I will send you an itinerary and some other info.
The price includes: Lodging for those dates, food, and safari transportation.
Does not include: An afternoon at Giraffe Manor, (i think 30usd) any days added due to flights coming in or going out before or after itineray- tho I am willing to book rooms for you, does not include tips or drinks, or personal expenses.
This is a VERY GOOD price for a safari. Please feel free to check the net and compare. Remeber to check same number of days and peak season. This will be my 4th trip to africa and it is a place for photographers!!
We will also visit Masai and Samburu villages(optional 20USD each money goes directly to the village, usually to develop a school in the community)
Send me your email and I will send more info.

If it were ONE week earlier I could have gone, but I'm starting a new job on Oct 9 and I can't very well ask that my first week be a vacation week :)

For a vacation of a lifetime, sure you could. ;o) j/k

Lynn (ellamay) is very passionate about Africa so I'm sure there will be other trips that she will plan.
