2007 Competition Winner
2007 was a good year for the African Safari Journals competition. A lot of time was spent on the phone (thank goodness for Skype!) and safari trip reports generated from travelers all over the world.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to African Safari Journals and its sister website, Top Adventure Tours, by entering the competition through either ASJ or TAT, or the third sister in the family: African Safari Pictures. According to feedback from visitors to the various sites, all the trip reports and journals are really useful!
This isn't a travel writing or photographic competition in the usual sense of the word. That means everyone who tells us about their African safari stands a chance of winning the prize! We don't want to judge your writing or your photographic abilities but rather learn more about the different safari destinations, safari companies and interesting wildlife behaviour you encounter while travelling around East and southern Africa.
Unfortunately, there can only be one winner…
… and on 28 November 2007, the draw took place! Each entrant was allocated a number, and the winner was chosen by means of an independent random number generator. The virtual drawing from a hat.
And, the winner is..................................................

When travelling, what don't you leave home without?
Definitely camera! And a book to make travel notes in.
Which animal would you most like to come across on the walking safari, and why?
Yawning hippo (in the water) - I want to see how wide they can open their mouths.
Baby elephant - just because they're cute.

Our competition winner Liza is currently deciding which of the 7 wilderness trails in the Kruger she'd like to go on as well as the "when".
Will she see any yawning hippos or baby elephants?
Watch this space for her trip report!
