aqc247 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) How did the trip go Ian ? Did you fill your pockets with eggs and fry ? yep i have your order Steve, if you can have the bail money$$$, a change of clothes and lawyer ready lol just wearing the mankini on arrival lol Were the fish hard to find? fish just appeared in front of your eyes Pete, with plenty of surprises.... that big catfish swam out from the cave when i was filming the nigriventer with juvs (bottom two pics). They aren't shy either, around a metre plus (saw larger ones elsewhere). You get a spread of the species at different locations with site specific colour morphs. Suprised to find that lanisticola at that depth 18m or so, have to check dive log. Did a night dive that was realy interesting too... amazing colours Edited September 30, 2013 by aqc247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh man Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Sounds so tempting,what does it roughly cost $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqc247 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Sounds so tempting,what does it roughly cost $$ Around 2 big ones for the safari - covers 2 weeks accom (mix of lodges & one camp), dives (12+), boat, transprot, airport transfers & food. Drinks are additional, beers around $1.5 to $2 US equivalent. You just have to get yourself there first so a few options for flights. Have all your medications and vaccinations done in advance, another few hundred $$. Go with an open mind because you are travelling with a small, international group in isolation in the poorest Africa. It's all about the fish..... all about the fish Tang safari price is a couple of hundred more because the lodge used is much more isolated to get to. Just breed and sell a few hundred of your featherfins, malawis etc and you'll be on your way. hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eh man Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 That sounds sooo good.so 5k will get me there for sure then.what time of year is best to head over?i can't go this year but next yr could be on the cards.ive already spent nearly 6k on new fish and two big tanks this yr already,plus me and my wife have just had our first child.i can imagin what places would look like.i don't mind roughing it for a couple of weeks,the experience would be well worth it.

aqc247 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The guys go during dry season which is the later part of the year ie. now +/- months either side for clearer water viz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
