We had received an offer of “Take a Companion Free” on a photo safari, “Focus on Zimbabwe,” with David Anderson Safaris (30 W. Mission St., Ste. 7, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; phone 800/927-4647, fax 805/563-7953 or visit www.focusonafrica.com or www.onsafari.info). The only requirements were to submit the names of five prospective travelers and to send 20 photos of our safari for possible use in an upcoming “Focus On Africa” book. For two, the discounted cost was US$5,000 plus airfare of $3,960.

From the gleaming modern city of Dubai to a safari in the bush in Kenya — there couldn’t be a larger contrast.

I read with great interest Nili Olay’s article on her South Africa trip (Jan. ’05, pg. 36) arranged by Leora Rothschild of Rothschild Safaris USA (1685 S. Colorado Blvd. #197, Denver, CO 80222; phone 800/405-9463 or visit www.rothschildsafaris. com).

We first became aware of Martin Reeve’s Normandy Safaris (57 Raley Rd., Locks Heath, Southampton S031 6PB, U.K.; phone 01489-576081, e-mail info@normandysafaris.co.uk or visit www.normandysafaris.co.uk) from a reader’s recommendation in ITN (Nov. ’02, pg. 79).
