No worries.

I repeatedly say, if anyone has a desire to go anywhere in Africa, go now or as soon as you can. The countries are changing SO FAST. In some ways for the better and in other ways not so much.

I my personal view/opinion the biggest influence effecting most countries on the continent is CHINA and their seemingly free money they offer up to the various govts under their "One belt, One Road" programs is incredibly destructive. The destruction is not just limited to the environments and ecosystems from their mining and timber operations but also culturally and economically.

While I would hope those interested would go and support my friends' operations in Namibia and Botswana, I would still encourage anyone with an interest in an African safari to "make a plan" and make it happen, no matter where you decide to go.
