New guy checking in. I've been lurking around here for a while and finally decided to join the fun. Planning an Africa trip next year for the family, but it's still a surprise, so I'll leave it at that. Glad to be here, and I'd appreciate any advice you guys have.

Welcome, lots of knowledge is available on this site. Feel free to share more information about what you’re looking to do in Africa. The members and sponsors here can give you detailed advice.

ADVICE: There will be so much offered that it can (and likely will) feel overwhelming. Expect that, embrace it even. The good news is that is is (almost) all advice is offered by folks trying to help you and the family maximize the enjoyment of that First Safari. We are all a bit Jealous because you only get one First!

That said, if you take your time, do your research, talk to a lot of folks, PHs, Outfitters, References etc you are VERY unlikely to not have a great experience. The bad experiences almost exclusively come from folks who don't do their homework, or have expectations that do not line up with what is realistic. The wrong kind of surprises for example.

Take it all in, look at a ton of pictures, read all you can, here especially. Get a copy of The Perfect Shot, (that's practically mandatory). As you learn, some of your initial worry will fade, and other questions will come up. Keep at it, you'll enjoy the whole experience, even the research and planning.

Oh, and welcome!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, glad to finally be here.
I’m still in the early stages of planning, so i’m just trying to soak up as much information as i can. I really appreciate all the advice and suggestions. I’ll definitely be doing my homework!
@ACE (in CT) thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it.
@Andrew62 i’m keeping that part under wraps for now since it’s still a surprise.
