'Africa' birthday present help - any suggestions?
Discussion
PH has come up gold for present suggestions in the past so I'm hoping for another.
My partner has always wanted to visit South Africa and go on safari. She has a (very!) significant birthday coming up so we're going to go for it and have booked a trip, leaving (for various reasons) about a month after the actual birthday.
Now the trip is the big thing for her birthday, but I still want to get her something for the actual day. Something that reflects the trip and that she can keep (ie not something consumable). And it needs to be not too expensive, since the trip is the expensive bit - maybe up to £200?
Any thoughts all?

I went to Cape Town about 18 months ago and liked it so much that we're going back for Christmas and New Year. It's an amazing place and I can't wait to go back. Coincidentally I did buy the Mrs a rather nice 2ct diamond last time we were there. We did a 3 day luxury Safari at Aguila Game Resort and we took a few days to discover the wine regions and stayed in a little mountain cottage. The restaurants are amazing especially Buon Vivant.

or look at matbronze on facebook, does some incredible bronze sculpture, he is based in Nairobi but I think they do export (may be above your budget).

That's a really good suggestion. If we didn't have a pair already it'd be spot on.
Good thinking though.
You'll need two pairs, unless one of you has eagle eyes. If she has an SLR a good (ish) telephoto lens is essential. (Or a 50-200/300 that will allow her to keep the same lens on and avoid lens changes in a dusty environment.)Good thinking though.
