10/5/26 K&T Classic Itinerary Change

DanSDanS
in Kenya & Tanzania

We just received notice that we will be going to Samburu National Park instead of Amboseli NP. We will be staying at the Soroi Samburu. Does anyone have experience with Samburu that can comment on the change? It appears that we will be driving instead of flying, a 10 hour drive according to Google Maps. The notice is blaming the change on several incidences of gastrointestinal illness at the Amboseli Serena.

    When we took this tour with Tauck back in 2007 for the first time, we did a lot of road travel rather than planes. The roads have been improving in recent years. Don’t forget you will be seeing wildlife along the way. We did go to Sambiru but I can’t recall specifics. I thought Tauck had not been using Serena hotels in recent years. We were last on the tour in 2019.

    Half the folks on our August 17 tour got sick, at or shortly after leaving the Amboseli Serena. I heard it got much worse with subsequent tours—too many to ascribe it to carelessness with water. Your doctor can give you a prescription for Azithromycin to take with you; take it on first sign.

    Thanks for your insights, guys. I already have my Azithromycin; hopefully we won’t need it.
