I have a group for a September 2012 safari. I would like to name this safari LEOPARD. That is the most prized sighting on safari and we have not had a safari named that yet.

However, I need help in selecting the meaning for the name LEOPARD. Would you brillant people out there help me please.

Here's a quick one just to get the momentum going:

Lions & Elephants On Parade As Rangers Drive.

Sounds pretty good to me, Fred.

Thats a perfect one Fred.

The lucky winner will almost receive this lovely leopard teapot :)

Please send that brilliant virtual leopard teapot Freddie's way

Cheers, Anne

Love it Freddie!

Freddie has a winner here!!

Too bad we can't make it. :(

We're on the wait list...anyone else ?

I am wishing and hoping...

(and pleading) :jester:

We're on it too :ch:

Is there a roll call since it already has a name ?

No roll call yet I have a list of people who have been waiting for this to be organized for some time but it is up to them to post their own names of course.

I was waiting to confirm details until I completed ROAR lll before I decided the camps and program I wanted to use.

This will be a smaller group with ONLY Ken and I as escorts and we wont be switching camps so space is limited.

Still initial planning stages at this time just needed a name from the very beginning.

Pretty tickled with your name Fred unless something else come to light that will do very nicely.

Oh, Ngaire, LEOPARD is so tempting..... especially after ROAR III postings.

Fred, Great wording for LEOPARD.

Carolyn

Great job Freddie. That is a great one.
Oh how I wish we could. :nw:

Hi.

In what country is Safari going to be?

Marcia

It looks like Freddie doesn't have any competition and wins by default! That was a tough acronym to beat, congrats Freddie!

Fred's was so good no sense messing with perfection it is already all over preliminary paperwork.

South Africa for the September safari that to me is the BEST place to go on safari particularly for a first time visit.

Can't wait to hear the details!

Cheers, Anne

ditto Anne....

Hi Ngaire.

I am interested. Waitlist?

Marcia Slomowitz

great job on the name Freddie! I too cannot wait for details.....

Great name.

Great name.

Just FYI look at the price of the $$ to the Rand now. Way higher than I thought it would go before we went on Leopard. When we confirmed it was at 1.00 USD = 6.5 ZAR

1.00 USD = 7.74097 ZAR

1.00 USD = 8.43061 ZAR

Cannot believe this increase in the exchange rate it just keeps going and going. I honestly did not think it would be at this level. When we booked it was 6.5. Huge difference.

Just a KUDOS to all those Leopard participants who took advantage of that good exchange rate. Not been checking since I was on ZODIAC I looked today and it is 7.5 now. It seems to rise slowly and drop back quickly. Hope it does not sink any lower!!

Final payment coming up and fate is smiling on us on Friday the rand exchange was 8.13. It started climbing a few days ago (not sure when and on the Riviera so not checking using my time wisely before I get kicked off).

Susan will be getting final notices out for those that not paid off yet next week. She is in the process of checking everything with K&D.

Always is a great thing to hit the exchange rate at a good time instead of a bad time an issue we cannot control!

It's hard to believe that in 2 1/2 weeks we'll be in Cape Town. We're so excited for our 1st safari! Can't wait to see some old friends and really excited to meet some new ones!

Yes I am ready been away from Africa for FAR TOO LONG!
Ken had some his photos put on Canvas for the office and a lot are of course from Africa. Really got me in the mood for the excitement that is to come.

Kathy, you all will have a marvelous time. Hope someone will send us Safari Mail!

Kathy, I can't believe how quickly this trip has come up, we leave in less than 2 weeks (extra nights in Cape Town). Been busy with major home remodel and now we have kids/grandkids coming here for 6 days.

We are so excited for LEOPARD. Like Ngaire said, we've been away from Africa waaaaay too long.

Yes we will need lots of safari mail! It has been so long since we have been too, so can't wait for mail and pics. Who else is on this one?

Ngaire, I would be interested in seeing Ken's photos done on canvas....They must be awesome! Wasn't aware it could be done....is there an address for it?

Looking forward to HeeHaw!

I've had several penguin/bear photos put onto canvas. It's terrific! one vendor is canvaspop.com. They usually have specials

Costco's photo shop is where we have had these done and they have done a super job

Thank you, Diane and Ngaire....I think we have a few photos that might look nice on canvas.....we also have a Costco nearby.

Pat, I've seen the canvas photos at some of the local drug store photo shops. They look really nice.

A lot of the photo book companies, like MyPublisher, are now offering canvas prints.

Just got an email from MyPublisher - 50% off canvas prints sale on now
