Owners name is Wilmina Mpapale and she is really very customer orientated. I was very pleased with her tours to Tsavo East National Park and of Mombasa, Kenya. She also has several other tours I did not get to go on due to time limitations but I will go back soon and take a few more tours.

I usually organize all my trips by my own, buying the plane tickets through the Internet and booking all hotels directly. This time I just thought it was too risky, but now that I know how everything goes I would encourage you to avoid travel agencies. They are not 100% bullet proof when problems a…

Like entebbe, Jomo Kenyatta is expensive. It is Kenya's main airport and one that services many flights in and out of East Africa including Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. Jomo Kenyatta is a relatively big airport with a much nicer business lounge than a few I have been to. The open tra…

doclette says:
We went to Kenya and Tanzania last July and used Southern and Eastern Safari for Kenya and Leopard Tours for Tanzania. Be sure to book the two separately because Kenyan agents are not allowed to book tours in Tanzania so they use a Tanzanian agent and get a cut and basically you end up paying more, …

. I would say that to buy souvenirs in Tanzania is like a sport! It is fun as hell. One tourist explained to me that once he was buying some souvenirs and they gave him a price. He accepted and then the guy got all pissed off saying he had to bargain. And he explained to him how to do it. I do not k…

A nice place to stay at Lake Baringo is Robert's Campsite. Like all other campsites in Kenya facilities are very basic. The site has a nice restaurant and bar though.
Some years ago a bridge on the only road leading to the campsite collapsed and the government refuses to fix it. To get to the cam…

Pastor Wright had been invited to serve as the House's guest chaplain by Rep. Anthony Powell, a Wichita Republican who was also a member of Wright's church. Accordingly, Pastor Wright composed a prayer, read it at the opening of the legislature on January 23 1996, and departed, unaware of the ruckus…

A buddy of mine (actually a travel guide) gave me this poem. So I think it good to share.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the oth…

Most electrical appliances have a converter that ranges from 110 to 240 wats, so you dont need anything but an adapter. I always travel with 2 international adapters but this time they did not work. You need an adapter with three pins and if you have expensive equipment (computer, labtobs…) be car…

-In regards to Shillings. Tanzanian chillings are quite easy to understand, as 10US$ is like 12 Tanzanian Chillings. In Kenya works different. You have to divide the amount times 60 and then you have it in dollars.
-Airports have good exchange rate! although sometimes hotels are not bad either.

The Kenya shilling is the strongest of the East African countries that use the shilling - Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. I have used the Kenya shilling every time I have visited Kenya which has been many times. While it is a strong currency in East Africa, one can not use it in Uganda or Tanzania witho…

1. Never walk around tipsy in downtown.
2. Bring a women (friend, girl-friend, girl-friend of a friend, mother, more or less what ever you can get), when going out. That keeps the pro's on distance and you might have a relaxed evening.
3. Take taxi the ENTIRE way. Do not jump off at a nearby corne…
