sorry for that last post i think it was a little smug.
that said i have another observation- the national parks here- it's a little odd. they seem like islands of international interest and influence- some luxury hotels in the Serengeti go for upwards of $600 a night- The daily entrance fees for the parks are very high- and have just risen-I heard it was to reduce the tourist traffic and environmental impact that comes with it. I think it wasn't the Tanzanian government's idea to raise the fees. It's almost as though the parks are international property, not a part of Tanzania. They are little international islands; I'm not sure who is in charge but it seems like it's not altogether Tanzania.
