How is the South Africa safari experience? I saw some videos, and it looks like there are fences and stuff, so it seems like the Reston Zoo.[/quote]

My South African experience was nothing like a zoo. We went to one of the Sabi Sands lodges so it was an expensive, exclusive experience, but a thousand percent worth it. I've been all over the world to all sorts of countries and it was far and away my favorite travel experience ever. The most mesmerizing thing I've ever experienced. It really could not be farther from a zoo experience. I never once saw a fence.

Are the videos you're seeing the type of trips where people drive their own rental cars through Kruger?? [/quote]

We saw the fence while tracking a cheetah at Singita but it’s because we were dead set on seeing the cheetah and cubs. The guide would have kept us away from the fence if the cheetah didn’t end up near it.

Sabi Sands was historically farm land until the 1920s when it became hunting grounds and then later evolved to the wildlife conservation model (a lot of people don’t know this) so you can still see some evidence of that and there’s some private estates scattered around too that go back to the “OG” families. Again the guides try to avoid all this but if you’re dead set on a rare sighting and tracking you might stumble on it.  [/quote]

What does it matter if you see the fence? It’s still there. [/quote]
