I am trying to work something out with some Namibian outfitters now. I've appreciated all the help I've gotten around here.
I PM'ed William a couple of times and he then called me. Seems like a great guy and very honest. I told him my concerns and he has options that are more to my style. As I said previously, I'm trying to learn something here, and as all of you vets know planning a first safari can be (and very much IS in my case) very confusing with all the different types of terrain (Namibia v Limpopo, etc), options, etc. etc, etc. It's a fun learning experience for sure.
Why do I feel like I am making a HORRIBLE mistake by not taking this offer up? This could be the reason why I have been up at night the last few nights thinking. I need to get back to RSA and throw a little lead down range and critters again!!
