Well said. The nerve these people have of giving us opportunities to earn bonus points and not getting all the details perfectly right. Off with their heads!!

It's good to get the points but nothing can be perfect...at least they are keeping all the PC members entertained with a new way to get the points.....I love the promotion!

Having not been to Aruba I wonder if its possible to see all the clues from within the park, for me the clincher was the two native species, as they are only seen in the park. It was a bit of fun and I doubt I will even get the points as my account is in a non eligible country, it was still good to know I got it the same day I found our about it, with a lot of help from this thread!

A few minutes before the change to the new pic (midnight ET), the Mrs and I both got 500 pts listed as Survey bonus. I wonder if this is the points from the Challenge. I'm positive I answered the right destination on Tuesday, but since I tweaked my answer each day, it must have just gone with the last entry. Oh well... lessons learned...

I was actually in Jim Corbett National Park, Sawai Madhopur, India (this is the fully correct location address, if it is that park) earlier this year and yeah the scenery looks similar. However, I will wait for a couple more days for more clues to surface rather than filling one entry each day. Infact for last week I only entered once on Thursday and with the correct entry.
Also note it says "not your TYPICAL safari". Typical safaris are usual wildlife safari of animals in Africa and other continents. But the not so typical is the TIGER safari indeed! However, India also has Sariska National Park for tiger safaris and may be some more parks with tigers. So I'll wait to see some more clues.

I agree with foxberg that it looks like Jim Corbett National Park. A quick google image search shows a very similar mountain range in the background. Of course, many mountain ranges can look similar so don't hold me to my word
