Dear Ollie

Can you somehow put my mind at rest. I have booked Kenya on the 6th June but am so nervous I am beginning to panic already and am ready to cancel. I have several medical problems, some long term and some more recent. I would love to know about the tour guide and perhaps have a chat with him/her and someone else going on the trip so that I have at least one friend that I can get to know before hand. It is especially important on this trip as I know we have to share a room for the first 2 nights. I dont wont to cancel but the furthest I have ever travelled is Europe that is why, in my wisdom, I chose somewhere further away.

Also I love animals and photography. As I have difficulty getting around I dont much chance to do either. I have even decided on next years trip which if I manage this one will I hope be the Costa Rica trip. Please help if you can. Thank you Ollie

First of all, well done for taking the plunge! I know it can be a big step - and now you have done that, you can start thinking about all the fun you will have.

We haven't appointed a tour manager for that date yet but I can tell you that we already have 11 bookings for that date so it is looking to be a popular time to go.

However, one of our community regulars Nixon has been on that holiday so hopefully she will see this message and let you know a bit more about what to expect. You'll find lots of comments about this holiday from her and other Community users on this site (click on 'search' in the top right of this page, then enter 'Kenya' as a keyword).

If you love animals and photography you have definitely chosen the right holiday, so don't worry too much. You'll have a lovely time when the holiday starts.

Kind regards

Olly, your editor

Take a deap beathe in and stop panicking.

Would it help if Olly gave you my home email and you could contact me direct, as you might not want every body knowing your medical problems, and without this information I cannot totaly give you honest answers also the other problem ( well not for me) is I am off to NZ with JY on Wednesday so I wont be around to talk back and forth on here, so if you would like I am happy for Olly to give you my email addy and then when I come home 22 days later I shall write to you and see if I can sort your questions and concerns out. Or if you would prefer on here then that's fine as well.

Cindy
