That'd be a mistake...
Did it in January 2014 and between Kruger and CPT was amazing and beautiful.
I guess you felt safe enough to go. Safari does sound really cool, but see my issues below. Didn't realize till ppl just mentioned it that CPT and Kruger are not near JNB. So we're adding more flights/travel to this trip and therefore more days, which relate to 1 of my below issues.
HKG is a really awesome city as well.
Google Images makes it look like NYC, although I'm sure there are plenty of differences.
I still personally have some issues:
- PTO from work: MCO in Jan and hopefully HI in the summer (which is much more exciting to me than any of these routes) doesn't really leave any time for another trip.
- Supporting an Arab airline. My wife was definitely not into that when I've discussed the idea of flying the fancy classes on EY and EK. Not sure how I feel...
- The $300 pp could be used to pay YQ on award flights to places that are higher up on my list.
