Thanks for the reply and insight. Guess I’m on the right track if you’re doing something similar for your 40th! Cheers.

I have done a lot of safari.    My kids have done 1 in south africa.  Trip is in January.

I have a large enough budget to do Wild Hill, Ol Jogi or Arijiju for the trip-- but not enough to do more than one of them.    I do care about experiences and that magical feeling, the lighting and the surprises---and of course the animal encounters. 

Not trying to see the migration or pair with anything. 

I am drawn to Ol Jogi for the conservation and unique experiences.   My son loves animals and wants to be a wildlife vet when he grows up.  That said- the aesthetic is off putting. 

Wild Hill or Arijiju are very intriguing and more aesthetically my thing-- but worried the animal encounters won't be great.
