Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sounds like this person wasn't a trophy-hunting motherfucker like Donald Jr. or Eric or the fat fuck from Jimmy Johns. (And therefore, in my book, a genuine tragedy.)

Still, when nature can't feed itself (and the article states food is depleted due to drought) animals can and will attack humans. This was the risk he took.

He's still going to get hate here for being wealthy, which necessarily means he's not paying workers the true value of their labor.

I mean, do you HAVE to be wealthy to do a safari camp out thing?

Looks like the nice spots (not in a tent) are around N$ 4,030.

$225. US.

So I could stay at a Namibian resort for 8 days for $2,000. That's not like Bezos money or anything. The airfare would likely cost more.

It can get expensive obviously, but you can also do it for a reasonable cost. Like almost any other holiday to a foreign country.

Some luxury camps are well over $1000US a night even in the offseason. But there are also many to choose from that aren’t nearly that much. If moving around, you could fly between camps, but you can also drive. It’s up to you. There are many youtube videos about it.

And as you’ve stated, the airfare itself is something to contend with if traveling to the other side of the planet.

Being able to take a week off work is bourgeoisie, probably
