Subject: Re: Help Newbie in Planning For Trip to Tanzania-Kenya Posted on: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:39:53 MST

I suggest you contact Bushbuck Safaris in Arusha:
http://www.bushbuckltd.com/ and let them know you
are OK with a camping safari. Tell them
"Dave Patterson" suggested you contact them.
We (Africasafari.com) used them for 15 years
for all our Tanzania clients till we sold the
this year.
FYI - One important factor in pricing any safari
is the number of vehicles & driver/guides you need.
They have new 6-passenger Land Cruisers that
could mean that - if there are 12 of you - two
vehicles would be sufficient. I had one group of
7 family members this year that used just one vehicle,
with one of them riding up with the driver.
It's not THE most import consideration, but it
is a significant part of the pricing.
When to go to east Africa? Avoid late March through
mid-May. That is the lowest of the low s
eason,
because rains are most likely then.
Migration is - as others have posted - interesting during
the calving period early in the year, and by July, the
migration is so far north toward Kenya, I think it is too
late to try and see it in TZ. I customarily suggest late
May/intoJune for Tanzania.
