No. That stuff has never sat well with me. Not sure if I can articulate it exactly.

Like hunting? Hell no!

But if it is just taking pictures and watching nature, I would go if it was free

Safaris are no longer colonizers roaming the countryside shooting everything that moves. Its a bunch of tourists in an open air SUV taking pictures of animals and baobab trees.

No. I don't like animals, I don't like heat, I don't generally like the outdoors. There is zero appeal for me.

I'd never go hunting, but watching the animals would be interesting. Doubt I would ever actually go do it, though.

No. I'm not against seeing nature and animals in their natural habitat, but at the same time I couldn't deal with the mosquitos.

Eh. I would but i dont want to contribute to the damage that they do. I was watching a stream of a safari and they pulled up to a pride of lions and there wws already a ring of cars surrounding them. That can't be healthy for the animals to just have humans around them like that 24/7

It it's any consolation, tours contribute to the commercialization of live wild animals, encouraging preserving nature / wild life / environment by the people living in the area for the sake of the local economy.

I'd like to visit those countries. One of 2 continents I've missed.

Screw the safari though. I know enough to respect the ocean and not fuck around in the sea too much. A safari - to me - is fucking around with the bush too much. You're just a whim away from being dead as fried chicken out there.

I'll visit the cultural and historical shit all day though.

African mosquitos are known for carrying all sorts of diseases that you wouldn't find in North American mosquitos.

True, yet this week someone caught malaria in two US states including mine. The one in TX didn't travel.

North American Mosquitos are not the ones Im used to. The ones Im used to carry dengue amongst other things.
