I am looking into going on an african safari with my family but I want to be sure that it's safe. I have been looking hard at www.kenya.com as a resource but I don't know if it's trustworthy. What do you guys think? Have you heard of it before or anyone used it, or evern of any good safari companies in Kenya???

Hi Susanne; Kenya is now safe to travel in all aspect, last month i had a visit to Kenya and Tanzania and really i enjoyed the holiday. I recommend you check with Absolute Destination Safaris Ltd, who are the among the best cheap tour operators in East Africa and they are the one i booked with. Their email is sales@absolutesafaris.net or even check their website: www.absolutesafaris.net, tell them that you have been recommended by Mr.Blummer Regards Robinson Blummer

Dear Mr. Blummer--since your post is coming from Tanzania, I presume you are affiliated with this company. Please let us know if you'd like to pay to advertise.

Safe beautiful place for amazing safari vacation is Botswana Okavango (sp) Delta is extraordinary for animals. Vacationed there in late Sept a few years ago. Botswana is safe. Fly to Joberg S.Af - transfer to Gaberonne ( capitol of Botswana) take a plan to the delta then take small planes to each of the camps.

Agreed, we went to Botswana three years ago for an amazing safari. I hope we will be able to return some day.

Edward--are you planning a trip?? We don't have the money to be able to do it right now, as I can't imagine doing it on the cheap, after our last trip, but we would love to go back to Botswana some day.

My 2 favorite are Londolozi private reserve for the big cats in South Africa and Camp Okavango in Botswana's Okavango Delta.

As far as I am concerned, the only choice is International Expeditions. You will get 5++++ star service. Safety & education is their moto. You will get Range Rovers where everyone can stand up and photograph. The othere companies have minivans with a small opening in the center where only a couple people can stand up. The vans are not equipped for the terrain. We went through rivers & mud and no one else could get to the areas we went to. We saw them off in the distance, where we were next to the action. We only went to Kenya. The hotels were amazing - Ritz Carlton level in the middle of no where! Honestly, how many times are you making this trip. It might be a little more pricey, but well worth it. Saftey is a huge issue! Don't miss the Elephant Orphange in Nairobi. Baby elephants put kittens to shame - you will never see anything more cute!
