[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About to spend $60K on a safari for 4.  But it's a once in av lifetime thing. [/quote]

Wow, how old are the kids. I hope they are old enough  to appreciate and remember it. Sounds nice.[/quote]

That is an insanely expensive safari - the full luxury version for people who have extra money to spend. If you aren't millionaires with money to burn you can go on fantastic safaris for a fraction of that price. Kids are mostly going to remember the animals and the safari experience and those are the same whether you pay $3k or 60K. I am guessing though that anyone paying $60K is used to a life of pure luxury and the kids might complain if the sheets aren't a high enough thread count or their every need and want isn't automatically met.

No 60k makes sense. At first I thought it said 600k. And I was like, shit you could build a house there for that, lol. But yeah 60k for four people makes sense. DH and I went to on one to Kenya before we had kids and it was about 22k per person. [/quote]

It makes sense for an insanely expensive safari. Similar to the family who spent 40K for a week in the Caribbean. We did a 6 day safari for less than 3K per person including airfare. We arranged it ourselves - not through an agency. It was absolutely fantastic with great food, an excellent and experienced guide, but in more budget level accommodations. [/quote]

Sorry to hijack, but would you be willing to share the details of what you arranged in case someone wanted to recreate your trip?

Safari is definitely on our family's travel wish list (someday . . . ), and our budget will be much closer to yours than to the $60k poster. Thanks![/quote]
