some of the lodging I have been looking at is in US$ so I guess I want the one in Rands. thanks again all.

Dear Plamber,

yes you might want the lodging with the Rands, which i don't think if there is any guarantee. Normally foreigners visiting our lodges are rated with dollars in that case they will insist you pay in dollars if not the exchange rate will be revised.

Secondly on superiority of the dollar still like Kenya now the dollar is trading at US$1 is exchanging at ksh. 102 and normally trades at ksh. 84 against the dollar a difference of 20 Kenya shillings per dollar.

Just like i mentioned before, you can not spend all the time watching the big game you need at least disruption but good for your experience that is in Kenya Helisgate has caves and hiking and also riding along friendly animals like zebras. This you children will love most spending a day without paying any accommodation.

In Kenya between June and August will not miss the great migration in mara based on number of dates you have mentioned

Lewa downs, and mount Kenya will of tremendous experience far from game drive.

Not forgetting the tropical coast of Kenya that will offer you a fantastic relaxing opportunity. after long game drives. They are fine white sand and warm unlike the cold coast of south Africa

we can book an all inclusive package that comes with food, drinks locals and house wines, water games, and accommodating without you paying an extra penny. The coast of Kenya can be accessed by road on by flight at a very little fee from Nairobi.

You can still see elephants on your way if you go by road as you cross Tsavo National park.
