I'll be fortunate once again to fly in Qatar's QSuite business class for our Zimbabwe Safari this July. My youngest son Jasper is graduating HS so the hunt and the plane ride are a bit of a graduation present. After seeing sky high prices for Delta and Qatar I was becoming discouraged about the prospect of us getting a decent seat for this adventure. Delta PS was $6000 and Qatar Business was showing $8000. Patrick Wright was able to do some digging for me and offered a $4300 R/T on Qatar if we were willing to transit JNB and overnight in departure. What a pain but I said ok. Due to schedule changes we will stay at Africa Sky on arrival before boarding the Airlink flight to HRE. JNB ground staff have become totally unreliable in the early AM hours so Qatar had to change their normal schedule to a much later arrival. This made it impossible to get to HRE and on the charter plane and to camp by dark. Bummer, TIA already! I'll report more as we get closer to our safari to the Omay with Dalton and York. I look forward to not only hunting with my son but new friends as well on this group hunt.
