Just how safe is it?

ie likely to get shot? swallowed by a hippo?

What sort of equipment would be needed?

Do you hire the jeeps and gear over there? or is it all pre booked?
You big woofter. Unless you stick your head in a Hippos mouth you should be OK.

Unless you look like a Antelope you are not likely to get shot.

However there is a fair chance that you could be fcuked by a rampant rhino.

Cheers Ian...bouncy bouncy!!

C'mon, I'm only asking for immediate commitment to air fare, jeeps and incidentals need to be paid when we go. it's not like times are hard or anything!

I have 3 so far and need 1 more to get the minimum 2 vehicles on the road.. You know you want to!

Cheers, Peter

It's something that really appeals to me as a concept, but seeing as I'm a lightweight, skinny git with poor fitness and a dislike for extreme heat, I'd probably be about as useful as a cock on a food blender, so I won't even think about looking for the cash...

Sounds like an awesome experience though. :thumbsup

Peter,

Sorry not got back sooner, really sorry but won't be able to join in on this one :cry: , sounds fantastic through. Will be waiting to hear how you all get on. I've been speaking to Sarah and some of my previous travelling companions and I think we might aim for a similar trip in 2011 :thumbsup

We should organise some Scottish Elises Overlanders drinks :cheers

Thanks Guys, I now have my minimum so it's looking good. I wouldn't mind puttng on an extra machine or two if the numbers worked should people feel like joining in closer to the date.

Jon, if there is any help I can give you for your 2011 trip then let me know, over a beer would be a good idea :D

:thumbsup
