Just returned from our first Kenya safari and used Eastern-Southern Safari Co. Let them know your budget and they will arrange accomodations based upon your budget and your itinerary. They will e-mail you accomodations and you can take a look at them and reply if you like to stay at the lodges or not. They use Serena and Sarova lodges.If you would like to know exact itinerary and lodges, let me know and I will e-mail you the information. One suggestion...make sure you plan a private safari-you and your husband only-you will be happy that you did. You may have to pay alittle more but it is well worth the little extra you will have to pay. Private safari is just you and your husband with a guide the whole tour.

Re Kikoti Camp refered to below, I just had to respond to the critical comments made by Richard Leeds. I just returned from a two week trip to Tarangire, Ngorogoro and the Serengeti. In Tarangire our party of seven stayed at Kikoti Camp. Although we stayed in some very nice accomodations elsewhere, particularly Migration Camp in the northern Serengeti, I can confidently say that Kikoti Camp was not only the best place we stayed in during our trip but the most fondly memorable place I have stayed in anywhere in the world. It is remote and takes a while to get to but the remoteness is part of the charm. The ambience is rustic luxury, the latter not of the European hotel variety, which you get at, say, Migration Camp or I assume Kleins, but something more akin to the rustic environment in which it is located. This is the reason why I liked it so much. It has a very pleasant English expat resident owner and a very capable manager. The local staff is very helpful and friendly. The bar/restaurant area is very pleasant, unscreened and terribly romantic, and the buffet meals were all excellent. The individual tented houses were also romantic and I loved the way they was screened, catching the breezes, creating the impression you were out of doors but with the comfort of cushioning rustically luxurious surroundings. It was a plus not a negative as suggested by Richard Leeds. There is also the offer of a 45-minute walk to one of the great vista views in all of Africa at the end of which you are treated to a drink of your choice. I am a diplomat by profession, have traveled all over the world, stayed in a wide variety of accommodations, from the bottom to the top end, and Kikoti stands at the very top. janetmac, it would be a true shame if you do not stay there.

Hello Mariadillon
what kind of trip do you want to do? fly from place to place? self-drive? mobile safari? (This is where you travel with a group, although if you pay more you can go privately and all the setting-up camp, cooking etc is done for you, very, very lovely way to get into some great wilderness places). Are you interested in landscapes? Game? Do you have any restrictions about the time of year, or are you flexible?
