Kenya Tanzania- A Classic Safari 7/31 to Aug 12, 24
We just got back from this trip and we checked this forum before our trip so we figure, we return the favor. We had a wonderful trip. August is a great time to visit, not too hot and very few tse tse flies- hardly needed our premethrin spray and lotion but used them anyway. We did all the pre-spray business with all our clothing before packing. For Serengeti, only bring earth tone clothing. Also, if you are sensitive to dust, bring dust masks. None of the hotels provide hair conditioner so bring some if you can't live without them. For meds, Mucinex for cold and Cipro for stomach issues was helpful to some that really needed them. Few people had reaction to Malarin. A light jacket proved very useful. Slip on shoes was a great idea-makes stepping on safari jeep seats very easy. Binoculars were helpful. Everyone in our tour got along and shared pictures. I have an iPhone 15 Pro max and almost didn't need my big camera- except for very far shots. Happy trip everyone. I am attaching some pictures.

Aida_Miller - Simply gorgeous pictures. It makes me think I can just reach through my screen and touch them. And the way you choose to present them is just fine. They are your photos. Thanks for sharing.

Aida, what shots did you get prior to your trip? I know the yellow fever shot is somewhat controversial for us kids over 65? Thank you for all of your tips.

Talk to your Doctor, or travel doctor and go to the CDC page. If you are up to date with all the shots that as an American you should have just living here, you may not need anything but Yellow fever…..and that depends on your personal health records that you and your doctor know.

Yes, I’ve swam on every East Africa safari, but the pools are cold.
