Well said. I also wouldn't feel bad for giving the parks a miss. Imagine all the great riding you can do in Kenya or Zambia for the price of one day in a park ! (and I'm not even trying to calculate how many liters of  equal 1/2h of watching gorillas).
Also, if you've been to Etosha or Kruger, you'll learn that around every lion are a dozen or so 4x4 lined up with people firing off their cameras. Get off the beaten path in Namibia and get to see animals in the wild, I mean, watching them in total quietness and all for yourself.
my 2c.
