Out of pure curiosity, how were you able to ensure that fish, eggs, etc. weren't cooked in non kosher utensils? Do they have similar regulation on milk as here or is the yogurt imported out with supervision?

Oh I guess I should have prefaced it by saying that the food was definitely cooked in non kosher pans and utensils. I just don't really care about that.
Now if you are planning on staying in some of these places with double wrapped food you should give them a call beforehand. They will probably be super accommodating if they have the storage space for your food. My jeep had a cooler which could have easily fit 10 wrapped meals plus it had outlets for electricity.

I love this kind of trip! Truly incredible to see this wildlife in their natural habitat doing their things. Someday!

As for the jeep, the cooler seems a great mod for food storage. We will just finish installing the smittybilt bumper and new shocks and I will look for a nice cooler!

Yes, sorry I do not think this TR will ever be completed. I recently went to Zimbabwe and have awesome pics from there but just not going to happen. I would be happy to answer any questions people have.

Unfortunately, Real safari experiences are scarce here on DDF. Just wondering what draw you back to the safari and what is Zimbabwe offering over Tanzania and the Serengeti?

True they are! I'm here to help any way I can.
Well my first trip several years ago was to Tanzania and Rwanda. What drew me back was the sheer magnificance of seeing these animals. Nothing I've ever done has compared to it. When we decided to go back, we wanted to spend a week in Seychelles so we thought it made sense to go to southern Africa. Based on the time of year and camp site availability (we booked just a few weeks before we left), Zimbabwe made the most sense. Plus we wanted to see Vic falls.
I'm not sure Zimbabwe offers anything over Tanzania but the variety of animals is different as is the environment. But if I had to choose I would say Tanzania was much better, especially if you go during the migration.

Just read through this TR a bit and looks amazing. Very excited for our safari we just finished booking for next year. We will be going to 3 different camps in Tanzania and doing game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti. Next September feels so far away.
