I’d like to do the same spouse vacation/ hunting trip for me but am thinking South Africa is where we may do that. Elk county during elk season isn’t usually my idea of outdoor vacation weather without a rifle or bow involved. We have a family hunt in BNW Colorado annually but men and a couple of friends who have girls who hunt with enthusiasm are all that go.
South Africa is on the list, but it probably won't be until our daughters are in college. The appeal of Colorado is that if something goes wrong, my wife can get on a plane and be back home within a day. That just isn't possible from SA. For Fall 2021 we will have one in college as a Freshman and the other in High School, but with a car/license. So, they can be self-sufficient while we are gone for ~9 days.
Also, SA has the other issue of having to be stuck in a flying tube of germs for 24+ hours possibly during a continuing pandemic. Not something either my wife or I are thrilled about. For SA we would also want to take our daughters with us because that is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip (well, maybe not once, but you get my point).
