The Lion Sands option would mean another 2 nights really and that adds up to lots more $$$ at a game park. This would really only be an option for those that wanted to stay that much longer and also spend that much more money.

I need to send Gemma the paperwork via email then.

Actually we are now oversold, I miscounted because once I had a computer and I could put my spreadsheet together I realised I had some singles that need a room each. Number of people right, number of rooms not right.

NOT TO WORRY - there are (a) bound to be cancellations and (B) there are other good options for a second camp in the Sabi Sands area if it does not need to be so big. We can accommodate 22 (I need a room) at Madikwe and only 16 at Leopard Hills. That means two groups of six could go elsewhere if needed. Perfect number for a Land Rover of their own so you dont take pot luck with whoever else is at the camp.

I actually like that this group is in two groups because when you have so many people it gets to be too many no matter how wonderful they are. A ship is different the numbers can be high and it all works so well. Land is a different thing. This way the maximum together is 24 at Madiwke Hills.

The only crazy time will be getting through Cape Town airport to Johannesburg. I am going to get extra people from Ker and Downey to assist at the airport so we split up into smaller groups that will make it much easier.

Once we are in the Federal Air Charter's hands life is easy.

I am confident all who want to come will get accommodated. First choice goes to those first booked for Leopard Hills of course.

I will send her the forms Arlene by email, she sounded like a really nice person on the phone.

I started to think about FRED and PAT. They are on WAVE and were so disappointed when they had to cancel ROAR. I tried to email them I hope they pick up their email on the ship.
