hey> Im doing this trip in November this year! It looks absolutly fantastic!

It does!!! I'd love to know what it's like there... any feedback would be great :) altho I doubt it will be anything but great!!

i shall let u kno as soon as i come back!!! im still hopin somone will be going at the same time as me cos so far your the first person i know whose going!!!

I know :O i can't find anyone else either... I'm sure others must be going though!! And thanks, I'll really appreciate that. Will be nice to get an idea of what life is like out there

i am going to South African wildlife reserve in Thornhill near Port Elizabeth hopefully in Late March 2010.
is this the place you were talking about?
i am so excited for it and even though its almost a year away i cannot wait!!

Yep, that's where I'm going... I'm going end of April 2010... maybe I will see you there? How long you staying for? I'm there for 8 weeks!! I'm excited already too heh even if it is a year away :P

Do either of you know what sorta bag your gonna take? ie suitcase or travel rucksack? i know your going after me but just wondered if you'd thought about what to take?

Hey... I was thinking about this last night. Going on past travel experiences I will prob take a small suitcase as I won't be back-packing. It makes airport security easier and if your case has wheels... it makes life far more convenient!! Rucksacks are good if you're going to lots of places or on a around the world trip. But if you're just staying in one place then I'd recommend a suitcase.

thats kinda what i was thinking too!! just wanted to see what other people are doing!

yeah i concur with Pingu - wheels are always a plus!! and maybe ( if your buying your luggage) get a hard case that way you have less chance of your bag being tampered with. (I am gettin all my info from my cousin who pretty much lived out of a bag for 18 months)
YES!! i am also going for 8 weeks!! i am arriving march 15th and leaving May 10th!! wow how exciting!! i cant wait to see you there!

Hey!
I'm 21 and from Australia. I'm doing the ''Help raise Lions and Tigers'' program near Kroonstad, South Africa, from the 16th of November - 7th December this year.
Is anyone else doing this project at this time? Or has anyone else done it in the past and have anything to tell me about it?
I'm SO excited!!! =)
