Kenya Reviews
Review 1
What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Repairing a road in the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary - finding the materials within the sanctuary, digging up sand, finding rocks for hardcore and transferring water to make concrete, was so rewarding!
What did you think of your tour leader?
Our guide Stephen was brilliant. Very keen to make the tour special and to find out how things could be improved for the next trip.
Do you feel your holiday benefited local people?
Yes. We were taken to meet families and experience how they live. Through their hospitality we could contribute money towards food, crops etc.
Do you feel that you got under the skin of a country?
Yes although 2 weeks is not really enough to fully appreciate such a wonderful country.
What advice would you give to other travellers?
Try the volunteer holiday, it's a fantastic team building experience and working and interacting with the locals is so humbling.

East Africa Safari - Packing
I'm going on the East Africa Safari tour on June 13, 2009 and was wondering about what I should pack...mainly based on the weather. I'm not sure how hot / cold it will be - particularly at night which will dictate the type of sleeping bag I purchase / clothes I bring. Also I vaguely recall reading something about not bring suitcases with frames / wheels etc. Can you please give me some idea of the guidelines for a suitable "bag". Any other suggestions about what to take would be appreciated. Thankyou.
Kenya Highlights 29th May
Hi, Last I heard there was only one other person booked on this trip with me so far but that it was still guaranteed to depart. If you're the other person (or someone who has booked since I last heard) would be good to get in touch.
Ballooning in Kenya
I've booked on the Kenya Highlights trip 29th May, the itinerary suggests booking the ballooning trip in advance. Is it best to do this before arriving in Kenya or is it something the tour guide will book for us once we arrive? Also, can you tell me how many people are booked on this tour so far?
Yellow fever... vaccination required?
Dear all In the dossier I received from my tourist agency, there's mentioned, that the yellow-fever vaccination is obligatory for the Trip Elephants & Beaches in Kenia. My doctor told me, that it's no longer necessary to have it for travelling into Kenia. Please let me know about the correct informations. :-) Thank you in advance Kati
Big Five Reserved Trip
I am considering taking the Big Five Reserved trip September 5-20 and have a couple of questions. I am 62 and wonder if it is likely there will be others in my age group or are these trips geared to younger people. Also I have read that sometimes there are more vehicles on Safari than animals. Any comments on this would be appreciated as this is a trip of a life time and I want to do it right. Thanks, Peter
