That looks like such an awesome trip. If you don't mind me asking, how much would a trip like that set you back? I've been saving up most of this year for an epic trip through europe which I leave for in a couple of weeks, but i've always been fascinated with africa. Perhaps that's next in line.

lol, if the cheetah was the male,the leopard was female then as I always get the mixed up

It's hard to guess at the cost but I'd say about 20-30k (we did uk and germany before africa though) The african part was through intrepid, 90% of your food is paid for with them.

Depending on the photo it could either be mine or fiona's camera, a 400D or a 450D with either 18-55mm or 55-200mm lenses
