Hello there! I've just got back from this trip - it was amazing, holiday of a lifetime! I'm sure you'll love it 🙂

I did this tour Oct last year so if there is anything you need to ask please do...It was a great holiday and the animals were amazing. I also did the add on at the 2nd hotel which was very nice just to chill and relax in the sun!!!

Hi Cindy

Any advice on currency and what is the best way. Did you do any trips when in the hotel and if so what were they like?

Thanks

Mary

I took Kenya Schillings (think thats what there called!!) which worked well for me. In some of the markets the LADS like you to pay in british sterling or USA dollars as I think they can get a good exchange rate. but just stick with the local currancy you will be fine. I did take my card but did'nt use it. I only came back home with about £15.00 in Kenya money and I did not have any problem changing the money back to sterling with my local bank where I got the money from.

In 2nd hotel I did only the half day tour to the town, TBH I did not think it was worth the money as it was boiling hot (I know thats not something to moan about!!!), and the beggars really did get to me, I found it all quite scary in my own way, so in the end I just sat on the coach/bus..my choice others got on and off in the heat etc no problem.

I do know some people did the dolphin??day it was very long day but they said it was worth it for what they saw and did. TBH I was very happy by the pool, and having a massage and manicure !!!

Really good holiday overall.

I have also booked the Kenya trip on 28th Sept with the Coastal Extension so its nice to be hearing of other people booked on the trip. Getting excited but also nervous as i've never travelled on my own before. Had Yellow Fever jab - it was a doddle! Will apply for visa next, oh and I suppose pay for the holiday!!!

Keep in touch

Debs

JY sorted out the visa when I went last year, had to send my passport to them and then they did a job lot and sent passport back to me.

You will all have a great time. I know I did.

Cindy

I will be on this trip as well, but not doing the costal extension, this will be my 3rd Just You holiday, would appreciate advice on injections etc, having read that where we are is not a yellow fever affected area, I also read on another post that our main case leaves us at the airport and goes to the hotel in mombasa and we just take an overnight type bag on the safari part?

Just getting all the stuff together, payment sent today, can't wait.

Martin

Hi Martin,

We're gradually increasing our group for this trip, not long now till we all meet up! Regarding the injections, I contacted my GP surgery and as I've previously had all the other injections that Cindy has mentioned, they said I only needed Yellow Fever jab & malaria tablets. I would certainly check again if I was you. The nurse also suggested the Malarone Malaria tablets as they are less liable to have side effects. More expensive but supposedly worth it!

Debs

I am more than happy for you to forward my e-mail addy to onto ELLA if she would like to make contact..

ELLA if you want to make contact direct with me,Olly will pass my e-mail addy on to you you will have to ask for it from Olly OK... make sure you head the email up and something like kenya information ?? as it might go to my spam, and I don't open anything I have no knowledge on OK...I will be glad to help you where I can ..

Everyone

Malarone did seem the most choice on my tour. only 1 lady suffered with dizzyness..I had NO problems with any form of side effects.

Cindy

I have emailed you both to put you in touch.

Kind regards

Olly, your editor

Looking forward to the trip and meeting you all
