In-room safes?

Are there safes in most of the venues to keep cash or is it better to wear a money belt?

Yes, I'm fairly certain all have safes. There were even safes in the "tents" in the Fairmont Mara Safari Club "tented camp"- I have a photo of it! You can Google each place to verify. There is no need for ready cash on about 95% of this trip. Except at the Masai Village in Amboseli, most places, accept credit cards. We did not exchange any $ for local currency.

If memory serves me:

Lake Duluti Serena Hotel - Arusha, Tanzania- yes
Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge - Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania - yes
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti - Serengeti National Park, Tanzania- yes
Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge - Amboseli National Park, Kenya- yes
Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari Club - Nanyuki, Kenya- yes
Fairmont Mara Safari Club - Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya- yes
Nairobi Serena Hotel - Nairobi, Kenya- yes

Thanks so much, Alan! Very helpful. How about bathrobes?

Came home from the Tanzania & Kenya safari last week---everywhere had in-room (tent) safes except Amboseli. However, they were great about locking up your valuables at reception.
