Latest Safari FP with time to make ROL FP (8:35-9)

[davkata]

Wanting to do safari at sunset which will be 8:30 ish when we are there. We have an 8:35-9 ROL FP. What would be the latest safari time we could be comfortable with assuming there could be stoppages for animals etc. along the safari? I would like to get to the ROL FP for 8:35. I know we will have to go for more of dusk than actual sunset and that's fine. I have safari FP for 7:30-8:30, but I suspect I should back that up a bit? Perhaps 6:30-7:30 or 7-8? Trips getting close. Lots of ?s from me today as I tweak and finalize plans!

1. I would like to get to the ROL FP for 8:35. I know we will have to go for more of dusk than actual sunset and that's fine.
2. I have safari FP for 7:30-8:30,
3. but I suspect I should back that up a bit?
4. Perhaps 6:30-7:30 or 7-8? Trips getting close. Lots of ?s from me today as I tweak and finalize plans!

1. That may be too late to be "safe."
2. If you get to Safari at 7:25, that may be OK.
3. That would be safer.
4. That would be safer. 7PM FP should be OK.

Thanks Robo. I think we may just swap the FP time and do safari first then EE as it makes more sense to work our way back that way toward ROL anyhow. We will hopefully have already done a safari earlier in the week on an EMH morning, but wanted to try a different time of day. Not a make or break for our trip. With our luck the safari would end up stopped for hours and we would miss ROL the only night we are able to go to it!
