    Hi Tracey,
    I was on the safari that you will take in Feb. and it truly was a great experience. The beauty of the land, the warmth of the people, and the sight of seeing beautiful animals untouched by man, made our two weeks in Africa an adventure that will never be forgotten. If you have any questions, please let me know.

    How did you find the food? Any issues with mosquitoes?

    The food ranged from very good to excellent. All breakfasts were buffet style. Lunch and dinners generally had a choice of ordering off the menu or a buffet.
    Concerning what you eat/drink; be careful. Our travel doctor told use not to eat any fresh fruits(unless they are peeled) or vegetables (no salads)because they are washed with water. Also, told us not to drink any juices because they are from concentrate where water is added. All of the lodges said that they use purified water, but we took no chances and had no stomach problems. However, appox. 1/3 of our group developed stomach issues (most lasted only one day). Also, use only bottled water to brush your teeth.
    Very little mosquitoe problems (never saw one).We went in Feb which is the middle of the dry season and the safari is also done high in elevation. Everyone had lots of repellent left, which we all donated to the locals at our last stop.
    If you, or anyone else has any more questions please email me directly at rogfam@optonline.net

    Hello, Tracey,

    My husband, Bob and I will be traveling from Philadelphia on the 17th of June to join the June 19th Kenya & Tanzania Tour. Will you be arriving a day early into Arusha? If you like, please contact me at geolizmad@aol.com so we can become acquainted before our safari adventure.

    Regards,
