Lori at Travel Express handled all of our travel. We booked with Delta for the domestic and overseas, with SAA from JO to WDK. There was adequate time between flights to not have to hurry. I cannot say I was overly impressed with Delta's so called Comfort Seating however. It does offer a tad more legroom, but no extra width so its still squeeze time, so not sure its worth the extra bucks. One thing that was different at my home airport of SeaTac was that instead of being snagged by an employee the minute I got into line with a rifle case, and taken to a TSA booth, I was directed to a Special Handling section. There I spent about 20 minutes with a Delta chap who didn't seem to have any idea the procedure of checking firearms. He had to use the phone and ask what to do. In the end, I opened the case and I put the red card in it, locked it up and took it down to the oversize baggage place, wherein they wiped it with some type of detection cloth, pronounced it good and said BYE. Didn't touch it again till I got to WDK, just the way I like it. Upon return of course we had to clear customs in ATL, so the rifle case had to be inspected by CBP, but other than having to wait my turn behind about 8 other hunter, it was no problem. Showed them my 4457's for the rifles, got our boots sprayed and then another CBP type wheeled our case over to TSA, they swiped it as before and shipped it home. At SeaTac I expected it to come out on one oversize baggage dump, but it came out another, I grabbed it as I walked by, no one checked my luggage tags, even though I offered, we grabbed our two bags, found our bus for home and piled on.
of the some of the camp staff! But we saw one or two dead adders in the road, and our tracker Joseph said he spotted a black mamba, but no one else saw it, no problem for me, not fond of snakes anyway. 
One day driving along one of the main dirt roads near camp, an adder was trying to slither across the road, Joseph pointed it out to Rommel and he slowed and proceeded to try to run over with the right front tire, when he slowed a bit I went to snap a picture of the snake, just as Erwin hit the brakes! Well, my arm hit the roll bar and my little Canon digi went flying thru the air with the greatest of ease and landed on its open lense! I went into my swearing like a sailor routine
! Those little leaves that form the open and close protection thingie had sprung off as well as the cap that holds them all on the lense, but he fitted them back on and mixed up some epoxy and its still holding together.
