discounters for kenya? or sa?

hi
i remember using two web sites that offered last minute specials (mostly for sa residents) but now i cannot find them. the one i'm thinking of had a long list of lodge specials in kruger etc.

the other question is whether such a thing exist for last minute to kenya or discount kenya. i've looked at egnu and i can't figure out the gametrackers page- maybe i'm doing it wrong?

thanks june trip.

I think this is the SA site you're referring to http://www.mtbeds.co.za/

I don't know if anything like it for Kenya.

Africapoint, located in Nairobi is a wholesaler with pretty good prices. We met two couples when we were staying at the Starbeds at Loisaba, in Laikipia, who had used Africapoint. Check them out.

great thanks.

i noticed them late last night and thought before i'd get too excited i'd check with the experts!

they have really really reasonable rates. kenya is a lot more affordable than bots and sa seemed to be.

no reply from lastminute kenya. i wonder if they are still in business as their web site says 2005.

thank you again! i'm getting so excited!

kerikeri:

If you are having trouble getting through on Kenyalastminute.com write Torben directly at
[email protected]. He is the managing director and will see that someone contacts you. Tell him you tried kenyalastminute.com and got no reply so I suggested you write him directly. Unless they are still having phone (and thus computer) problems you should get a reply from him. Kenya phone service tends to be spotty at all times, but since they have had recent flooding it could be part of the problem. I'll drop him a note now and let him know you'll be emailing him.
