GOOD SAFARI GUIDE RELEASES LISTINGS OF FINALISTS FOR 2014
(Posted 31st August 2013)
An extensive listing of nominees for the next round of the ‘Good Safari Guide’ awards is now out with lots of familiar names as well as new ones seeking to have their fame spread among those ever keen to find the best Africa has to offer. Leading by numbers of nominations are as expected Kenya, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, with home boys Uganda only able to field two candidates, the Apoka Safari Lodge – located in CNN’s top rated Kidepo Valley National Park – and Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge in Nkuringo / Bwindi. From neighbouring Rwanda only the Virunga Safari Lodge made it into the nomination ranks.
The full listing is shown below, allowing friends, supporters and aficionados of bespoke safari experiences to vote for their personal favourites:
