Hi Charlotte,

I'm Ali and have just booked for the Kenyan safari last night...am a little nervous but really excited too! It sounds like it's going to be a great adventure and am looking forward to meeting some new people and having a laugh too...

Hi Charlotte,

I'll be travelling from Newcastle on the Monday afternoon. With the flight times as they are at the minute I'll have to stay over on the 22nd in Gatwick as it doesn't leave me enough time to get the last flight home.

Hello

I went on the Kenyan saferi in June, it was my first trip and had a fantastic time.Tips -take books and writting materials foe the children but give them to the Kenyan guides to go to a school

more money than you realize change at the airport the Hotels are astranomicly high or take Kenyan money with you

The balloon trip will take credit cards

I paid by credit card and it was exchanged in $ so got a very good rate.

don't forget to pack you swimwear in your Safari bag as you go straight from thr airport to your Safari buses and your hotel luggage is sent safly to the Hotel for your arrival. one of our group sent the wrong bag !!! to the hotel

Enjoy and make sure you have your camera's fully charged and plenty of card space and your binocculars there is not much shopping available for the first 6 day's

Hi, I went on safari this year and had a fab time. You won't need a mosquito net, they are all suplied at the lodges and the hotel will put one up if you want / need one. Have a great time. The balloon flight is a must do and I highly recommend the dolphin dhow. We saw dolphins and humpback whales - awe inspiring.
