Thanks to everyone on this board - and all the great advice - I was able to process the seemingly overwhelming amount of info I needed in order to plan my trip to Africa. I leave in 4 more days and it can't come fast enough

I'm doing an adventure-style trip where I'll be camping on the safari and Kili climb. I will stay in hotels only in between trips and on Lamu Island. It was a tough toss up between Lamu Island and a gorilla trekking expedition, as I only had time for one if I wanted to also unwind in Munich for Oktoberfest, so I chose Lamu.

Here's my itinerary and I'll post my FR's and photo's when I get back.
