If you have ever been on safari in Africa, you may have left with a dose of Khaki Fever. I’ve certainly had moments when I suffered from it. It doesn’t make you sick but it can make you light headed. It’s the phenomena of falling in lust with your game ranger.
How can you not? You are at the mercy of a hunky guy (or gal) dressed in khaki, tanned from the African sun with a gun slung over the shoulder. You follow passively, hoping he/she will protect you from marauding wildlife or a lion that is hiding in the long grass. Without him you’d be cat’s dinner.
It’s very easy to get khaki fever and soon I’m going to show you why. Watch this space for a Khaki Fever competition where you vote which game ranger ‘does it for you’. I am on the hunt for rangers who epitomise Khaki Fever; not only are they good looking in green but brilliant at their job of guiding people around Africa’s wild places.
In the meantime, you can take part in the South Africa Challenge ‘Khaki Fever’ campaign in Germany to win a safari in South Africa and find out for yourself whether you can resist the real khaki fever. South African game ranger Hendrik Fehsenveld is the face of this Khaki Fever campaign, but I’ve got a few hunks of my own to show you soon, so watch this space (guys don’t lose interest, there are some very hot lady rangers too and khaki gays)!
There are five big prizes which include a Big Five walking safari, 4×4 expeditions and learning Zulu in a South African schoolroom. The promotion has its own website (http://www.suedafrika-challenge.de/). The adventures of competition winners will be podcast and vodcast in Germany.
