Ranger wants a wife

Howdy folks. I’ve been doing a bit of travelling of late ... when you have a cape it’s not too far to fly off to a safari in Africa ... and anyway, whilst I was snapping photos of lions, rhinos and cheetahs, I discovered another endangered spieces: single, straight, handsome men in their late 20s and early 30s, just desperate to meet a nice gal.
I was just peeking through my binoculars and there there were – dressed in khakis and sporting tanned legs and a better than average knowledge of the local flora and fauna. They also had the ability to whip up a strong G&T in under 3 minutes flat. So, who were these men, who ask? Well, they were RANGERS. As in Safari rangers. Just like Robert Redford in Out Of Africa. They even had guns.
The reason these perfectly delightful blokes were single and desperate was because they were literally stuck in the middle of no-where, with no girls anywhere to be seen. The ration of boy rangers to girl rangers is apparently less than 20 to one. These poor souls complained to me that they simply had no options meet laydees ... and if a single lass happened to step foot on safari, competition was fierce. Men started showing up in their droves, frantically fighting for her attention – manes were brushed, tails displayed and private game drives offered.
This leads me to think about that fabulous Channel Nine show, Farmer Wants a Wife, and propose a new reality TV offering – African Safari Ranger wants a Wife. Any takers?
Seriously though – would it be worth flying 14 hours and heading to the middle of the bush to snare the man of your dreams? How far would you be willing to go for love?

    It's funny, I know a great girl who took up a job as a hostess on one of these safaris - swapped her high heels for safari boots and promptly fell in love with the safari dude (who is a bit like Indiana Jones). They are now married and have just had their first baby. Sooooooo there's something in it....

    nup . . . I used to be an outdoor recreation instructor and I can tell you that the job is the life and everything else has to fit in around that . . . pretty hard,unless you want to become a ranger too!

    Although, if a younger Robert R was there, maybe I would reconsider!

    Am very jealous of the African safari stint though!
