Thread: first time kenya

I take your point i feel the same about sri lanka

I mean whoever you go with check they are operators and not merely agents, that they have their own vehicles and staff and are KATO-affiliated. Small companies can be very good, and personal recommendation is often the best way of finding out, but always double-check the details before putting down any money. A good company will never make you feel you're being a nuisance. Hope that helps, Richard

LOL but its true I tell you!!! you just wait and see ;O)

Yes there are and always will be mosies in Kenya , read up or search mossies in these forums

I always use Somak, for 14 yesrs now. Excellent company and they also have offices in UK if problems are encountered. Never happened to me yet though. In fct I have booked yet another safari with them here in Mombasa . Weather is is very hot, ensure really thin cool clothing.

Hi all, another newbie to Kenya . forgive me if I get this wrong but when you say to go with operators, do you mean not the likes of Julious and Freddie who come up here on trip advise quite frequently? carol

Hi. Justa quick reply to your Q, re mossies. I travelled to Kenya in March this year. I am normally eaten alive by mossies wherever i travel. Twice needing visits to doctors for injections to relieve the pain/!!!.....I got a couple of small bites at the end of the holiday because i had stopped putting on repellant....hardly any mossies about so relapsed.. I would not worry about this. Although we did have yellow fever injections beforehand...
