Since changing hands from the overseas booking agent who answers your emails, to the ground handler who receives your payment, to the host who would pick you up from the airport (if there is one), to the various lodges who would accommodate you in Africa and the guide who is the ultimate determinant of whether you will have the best time of your life or otherwise, those promises made to you 3 email forwards and few Anglo-Swahili whispers ago had long been forgotten. 

Surely, internet has given consumers the power to choose and buy virtually anything directly from sellers more than a decade ago by cutting out the middlemen. Why should Africa travel be any different?
