Thanks for that link! I was aware of the Handcarters (saw markers along our route which yes, made us truly appreciate having an RV as we traveled difficult terrain) but not this particular bit of history. The strength of the human spirit blows my mind....
Your welcome! Very few of todayโs population could even hope to survive what our early settlers endured! Iโd like to think I could....but, I know better!

โGlampingโ ,substantially raises the cost of Safari .....photo or firearm!
A goodly potion of that money is used for game conservation and attempting to stop local poachers! If it werenโt for the millions of $ going into the African economy, there would be no game left. Especially the elephants and the rhino!

Maybe "glamping" is just a matter of degrees-of-comfort? When I went from a tent to a popup, it was sooooo nice! Then from a popup to a Class C? *swoon*
Many years ago, Ed and I were parked at a historic sight, where one could still see the ruts left behind from hundreds of covered wagons headed westward. Can you imagine what one of those pioneers would think about today's motorhomes??? Even the most basic camper would have blown their minds.....

Now weโre onto something important! Was this a photo Safari, or did we get to enjoy the awesome smell of burned gunpowder? ๐ Either way, I hope that you enjoyed your โglampingโ! :B
I have no issue with well regulated hunting but holy cow is it pricey, we have some friends who did and it was 5 figures for a wildebeast.
We did photo safari. Really pretty reasonably priced once you get there.
