my wife's parent are coming for the safari/trek portion and are paying for the VIP upgrade that i would never even contemplate playing so it's a win win for me

my wife wanted to climb kilimajaro, but it's like $2000 and 6 days or something.

i've heard that about egypt but we're pretty seasoned travelers so we know how to handle ourselves.
Jesus the moment I drop 22k for 10 days of travel is the moment I have to reassess my life's priorities. But that sounds awesome, I hope you have a great time!

I've looked at G Adventures that had a combined Kili/Safari (4 days)/Zanzibar which cost about $6K but that's obviously with bare bones camping for the Safari portion. No airfares to and fro Tanzania either. I normally don't do tours but seeing as I'll likely do Solo (Wifey not into animal viewing) I seem to have an issue finding groups I can just join in a safari for. Don't want to be the only one with a driver/guide either.
