    What is it with these things? Conservation projects are screaming about how nobody understands the animals and how they are endangered due to misconsideration... yet it costs £5584 for a 15 day holiday, just to drive around in a land rover and get a glimpse of a tiger.

    Now, seeing a Tiger would without a doubt be a fantastic experience however there is further insult.

    For thousands of pounds you can see polar bears, whales and all this sort of stuff (I hate to sat it but you could probably organise a lot cheaper yourself) and yes, whilst browsing through this malarky I found an interesting one: Volunteer Conservation Work on Africa.

    £3000 for a few weeks.

    Now to me, paying £3k to get to another country, WORK for a company and then leave again is just retarded. Oh did I mention if you want to a ranger course thats another £1k on the top.

    How can any of these places possibly justify such obvious profiteering??
