South Africa Set Departure tours: cheaper in 2024 than 2023!
Here is just a heads up to let folks know that due to South African Rand (currency) decline over the last 12 months that ALL our South Africa tours are actually cheaper in 2024 than they were in 2023. In a world of pretty constant inflation, a little good news and significant savings really helps! So check out the Photo Tour, Birding Tour or Enigmatic Wildlife Tours for this great country.
Anyone interested in Panama in February? The set tour in Panama 12-24 Feb 2024. Both Georganne and I are interested but the tour lacks participants (we need 1 or 2 more). It looks like it will be a great tropical birding experience. I think Nick Athanas is penciled-in to lead it.
Ben: I have signed up for the Photo trip in CR in February 2024.
I wonder if you might be able/willing to update the details on the itinerary description.
I know from exchanges with Martina that the itinerary has changed. It seems to make more sense now, in terms of daily in vehicle travel time.
I would like, though, to get a better idea of the birding locations where you are planning to spend time. (For instance, is the “hole in the wall place” referred to in the current description the Soda y Mirador in Cinchona?)
I like birds and flowers, but am not keen to spend time on reptiles, insects, monkeys or other animals.
Also, I tend to be slow on walking trails (at 77, you start to get decrepit). I would not want to inconvenience other participants, so if that is a potential problem, please let me kno…
Thought I would follow up to say that the tour in February worked out beautifully: Almost a bespoke, private tour experience. And that Pablo did a super job, as guide , photography advisor and driver. One of my three best ttips ever.
