Finally, my trip to Africa!
Hi,
Being a African history major in college, I always dreamed of traveling to Africa. I am finally going to make it happen.
I will be spending three weeks in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, with the possibility of also doing Rwanda, although I know three weeks really isn't that long.
Does anyone have advice on safaris or general travel tips on traveling throughout these countries. I very much want to do a safari (as everyone does) and want to find one that is eco-conscious and supportive of the local economy.
I hope I don't sound like a pill. Any advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
Jenna

sandries Hi! Another good one is www.endallahtours.com. They'll take you to a little village near the Serengeti and Ngorongoro and you'll get the chance to stay in a tanzanian family's house and see the real life! They'll take you on safari too and have various projects going on in the village. It's a small starting African-owned company so you'll support the local people. I travelled with them too (and we also help them to build a school)and now I'm helping them to start up their business. You won't regret it!
