The tickets I booked are 3 coach tickets via a NW phone agent. The ticket prices were $442 or $509 so I'm very happy with the mile/$ value. (25k miles for trips inside Africa) We booked these tickets in peak tourist season too. We're getting paper tickets but I think I can handle that, though I did show up at SEA one time to check in only to find those things I was mailed a month earlier were tickets! It had been years since I had had a paper ticket!

The Dudemon family is doing the HH SAF8 safari in July and we figured we try and visit another country in the area while we're there.
