It wasn't that bad. It was a few stains on the bed sheet. Laundry cost of THB100 for bed sheet is dead giveaway that it wasn't bad. She was trying on a scam and when wife told her husband will talk to management she shut up.
So what is security like these days? We were going through metal detectors into our hotel and had armed guards when we were there in 2014. Has it calmed down a bit? The traffic from the airport into the city is crazy, but it gives lots of time to look at the vultures in the trees. I think I am suffering Africa withdrawal symptoms
so still the same. Nairobi always seems to be buzzing

We're talking about visiting Africa and one of the park options was for a self driving holiday, from Johannesburg to Botswana. Yeah... Thats a no chance in hell answer.so still the same. Nairobi always seems to be buzzing

. We've just booked a camp in Maasai Mara for next year - had to in order to get into Giraffe Manor.... I am glad we did as it seems silly to be in Kenya and not go to one of the "famous" reserves. Have a great time
once you get clear of the Johannesburg area you would be fine. Botswana itself is wonderful - lovely country and the northern Transvaal is pretty good too.
. I am in the process of booking Giraffe Manor, Sala's Camp (Maasai Mara), Segera (Laikipia Kenya) then Bisate Lodge in Rwanda to visit the Gorillas, then Tanzania - Mara River Camp, Sabora and Sasakwa which are all Singita properties. Pretty much light planes between all of them, except one leg between Nairobi and Kigali which will be Kenyan Air. We are hoping to see the great migration but it is all a bit of luck really, as it can be early or late, so you have no idea.
the area around Johannesburg can be dangerous particularly at night. Once you get away from it, I agree no problems driving in South Africa (apart from their road death toll, which is a bit crazy).
unless you get lost of course
. I have a lot of friends and family in South Africa - while as long as you are sensible there is no problem, it doesn't pay to get too blasé about the country, but then I have had an uncle killed in a car jacking and a 80 year old aunt, slashed with a knife and robbed walking in the street, so I am probably a little inclined to carefulness.
Ok smarty-pants: how did I get here - from Melbourne?Train ....... :d
