小声问问：有去过南非旅游的吗？

边走边摄打算去，明年一月。已经开始跟她在麦吉尔大学的同学一起组团。。。我实在是很想很想。。。我也想跟着去。。。

昨天她把攻略发过来了，到达约翰内斯堡之后是参加一个当地人组织的小小团队，总之是探险类型，差不多要在路上一个月，过一二天换一个住的地方，经过自然保留区，峡谷，乡村，看奇观探访世界遗产，经独特壮观瀑布和天然岩石池，翻越陡峭的山谷怪石和峭壁。去看野生动物以及鸵鸟企鹅等等，期间当然有几日在城市放松的机会，还能参观当年曼德拉被囚之岛，但必需做好上陡山下大海（南非海岸线可真是长。。。。）的准备。

还有，既然好不容易去一次我是必须把长枪短炮一应器材都背在身上的以求片子质量，估计是比较需要体力的一个TOUR～～～～

我一个人就自己前去能行吗？

但内心太呼唤了。。。。就这样纠结了一晚。

家人却没支持的。听说那儿有几个因素不很安全。

哦，时光啊时光梦想着你能倒转一次，就为了帮我实现这个旅行计划

• 开普敦很安全，因为游人很多，街口都有保安，约翰内斯堡没有当地人陪同最好不要自己乱 -外面的世界- ♀

• 谢谢！看来有共识了，开普敦很安全，而约翰内斯堡单独行动要当心 -DUMARTINI- ♀

• kenya is better to view big 5 with less

at Kruger NP, tough to spot lion in bush 20m away. don't expect 风吹草低见野兽. it's romantic. but bush does not go down like grass.

• 所以去肯尼亚是看动物人文为主是必须带长焦的。但如果去南非，风景加人文动物，全了 -DUMARTINI- ♀

• suggest go w/ tour Co in Aug. detail ins

i like to do lots of homework on weather, cost, travel Co. etc. Since 2009, i went Kenya, Peru, Dubai, Egypt, 南非/Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) with a day trip to Chobe NP (Botswana), all with friendly planet Co (FP, www.friendlyplanet.com); Patagonia with SmarTours; Turkey with Key Tours; Galapagos and Costa Rica with others. Tour Co.'s get great bargains for air tickets, hotels etc. Since Victoria Falls is not far from Johannesburg, I went南非with Victoria Falls using FP with total 21 days. I feel the trip was great and once in a lifetime. Last 17 days were Johannesburg, safaris, Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, similar to your first 17 days. Check www.friendlyplanet.com for南非with pre-tour and post-tour. It has detailed info on weather, cost, etc. When I was doing graduate study, I went to Europe for a mtg in Italy, (London to Greek, self tour for 4 wks). self tour has more freedom. Tour Co.'s get great bargains for air tickets, hotels etc. it may cost slightly more with Tour Co., but much safer, efficient, and better hotels. I like your pictures. For my poor 南非pictures see http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/photography/811984.html, http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/photography/815120.html, http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/photography/817258.html. You can see that the grass was shortest in Aug and I’d think it’s tough to view animal in Jan. Jan is summer there. I strongly suggest you go 南非with pre-tour and post-tour with friendly planet Aug next year. Victoria Falls has lots of rain in Apr and huge mist. In Aug, Victoria Falls has mist but ok. Leave your questions here, I’ll come back and answer.
