I did this tour October 2010, it is a great trip the safari part is wonderfull animals are amazing, I also did the add on at the 2nd hotel which was very nice just to chill and relax.. Why are you feeling apprehensive if there is anything I can help with just ask. I have just come back from my 8th JY tour. There are a couple of video clips on here one from me (nixon) and one from Lovely Lesley have a look at them it might make you feel less worried.

Thanks for the reply,should just take the plunge and book it.

I keep popping back to this site and everytime the Kenya holiday catches my heart................not sure what stops me actually? Scared I imagine although not sure why???.....

Maybe the same thing that holds a lot of people back fear of the unknown.

Help........cannot imagine seeing such a different way of life.....is June a good time?

What would you wear?

Is the all inclusive option sensible? what sort of spending money do you need? where would you buy souviners? I think there are CoOps in Africa for buying gifts?

Tips please....

When I went Oct it was very Hot and Humid...

There wasnt an All inclusive option when I went is this to do at the second hotel??? If so there was plenty to eat and breakfast and dinner not much money spent on lunchtime at all, drinks where not that dear..

On safari wear loose clothes and NOT bright yellow orange etc, as attracts the flies, 3/4 shorts vest top and loose shirt fine for the game drive you DO NOT need walking shoes just light shoes as you don't go wandering around you stay IN the JEEP...

Drink plenty of water, as you sweat !!! take plenty of tissues (packets) and wet wipes and hand cleansing gel as you can get sticky and the toilets are an adventure at times.

I did not buy much at all to bring back I am not a lover of wood animals...

at 2nd hotel the treatments are really cheap, I had a lovely massage and manicure, also visited the local childrens aids orphanage and took lots of encils and colouring books etc.

If theres anything else just ask.

I'm going in September so am finding all this really helpful. Cindy, in regards to the orphanage, is that something you did during the days in Mombasa and did you buy the pencils etc at home to take? It's something I'd like to do, too

I'm thinking of going in September. Are you doing the add on?

hello,first timer and was thinking of doing this trip, any thoughts from anyone?? Obviously slightly apprehensive so any feedback would be apprecited thanks.

I am going to Kenya on the 6th June and like you I am very nervous. Like you I need all the help I can get but it is exciting at the same time. I hope more people going on that date will write in as it would be much easier to know some of the people in advance.

Hi this is Sue

I have booked Kenya for 6th June as a first timer. I am extremely nervous about going but it does sound great fun. If you do decide to go try and get this date and we can exchange email addresses and chat about things ie what to pack, money etc. It is always good to know someone before going and perhaps meeting up outside the airport as that is almost the most worrying part. I hope you decide to go.
