Please do contact me at this email: Hope to get many emails Angelo, there isn't much to share, actually. At least not from a financial point of view. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

it is not true, there is a lot to share; the company in Kenya I am in
contact with, just told me that the more people join the safari, the lower will be the price for each one; that is why I am searching for people thanks Angelo.

I hope they told you how much lower the price would be. I never doubted it would be a bit lower, but perhaps not by much. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

I hope they told you how much lower the price would be. I never doubted it would be a bit lower, but perhaps not by much. The price for the flights and accommodation will be the same (until you get over about 12 people, or maybe 16), the cost of the vehicle/driver/petrol will be shared. That isn't a big proportion of the total. Remember also that the more people in the vehicle, the less room everyone has, which is a big consideration if they are photographers with a reasonable amount of kit. Also, with over seven people in a normal safari minibus, not everyone will have a window seat, and the seventh person will be sitting next to the driver will not have access to the roof hatch. Obviously, everyone should rotate being in this seat. Anyway, bear that in mind, and safari njema.

That is why we are searching for other people. GO to this website: www.tamasha-afrika.co.ke the guy who is organizing my safari is a friend of my friend and I trus thim when he says the price can be lowered, and after all you can see it on his website as well. Thank you very much Angelo. |

In that case you will save money *if* you can find someone to share. But it's not so attractive for others. Usually when on safari you stay in the parks for ambience and so that you can have the best game viewing in early morning and late afternoon. If you're staying in or near Nairobi, and you haven't already found others to share with, you could try posting at the Thorn Tree Cafe at the New Stanley Hotel: in fact, maybe your friend could post there for you a few days before you arrive.

www.tamasha-afrika.co.ke Angelo, thanks for the web link. I find the following table there (a bit distorted here in plain text, but still readable). Prices are Per Person Sharing 2 Pax 3 Pax 4 Pax 5 Pax 6 Pax Single R S High Season 960USD 912USD 864USD 816USD 768USD 120USD Low Season 862USD 820USD 776USD 734USD 690USD 90USD Low Season 01/04/04 to 30/06/04 Single R S = Single Room Supplement High Season (01/07/03 to 15th/12/03) AND ( 04th/01/04 to 31/03/04) The savings probably come from sharing the car. Makes sense, but as I suspected, the savings aren't overwhelming. Still, you'd save some. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |
