[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of my friends can go due to no money,. child commitments, etc.[/quote]

Go alone!  Traveling alone is awesome.  I've done it (I'm a woman) many times and highly recommend it.  And I have lots of friends but it's fun to travel by yourself [/quote]
To Nairobi, Kenya? I'm not sure I feel safe doing that.  :?: And it just feels like it would be more fun with someone by my side to share the moments with.

You will be fine. All you will do is book your flight with a tour operator.  They will take care of everything for you, there are tourists from all over the world packing that country for the great migrations. Lots and lots of lone travelers. Tour operator is absolutly not necessary, but you seem like you would need one (which is perfectly OK!)Your S/O is not Africa material if he's a complainer. It is rough travel and if you are a whiner, you will find lots to whine about.  Do the migrations in August/September (really too late now) once you do that hop on an EASY domestic flight to the coast to the indian Ocean and fly into Milindi and take a taxi to Wantamu get a  beach front airbnb and find one great tuk-tuk driver to take you all over the small town that is run by italians and eat the most delicious food the country has to offer, as good as you will find in florence. No joke.. You can then do an ocean safari in the beautiful coral reefs right in the crystal clear waters of the Indian ocean, just a few hundred yards from shore. The snorkeling is so incredible.  Thr Kenyan coastline is much skipped by the bulk of the tourists, but holy shit, it is beautiful and unspoiled. The people warm ans helpful. Theyare very very poor, so its best to let one that seems helpful to latch on the entire trip to be yiur unofficial guide. It will keep all the others away.

The beach trip will be a mere fraction of the cost of the Mara. It is best to spend the money and camp INSIDE the mara (dont get roped into being outside) and anything more than 4 nights is overkill.

Amboseli is worth 2 full days, and Ole Pajeta is a day trip.

Mara-the great migrations, nat geo shit...unreal. the crown jewel. Known also for the abundance of big cats, crocs, and heards of animals. Not many poachers, but lots of disrespectful Chinese tourists. Stay away from camps that cater to them. They are awful, loud, drunk, and throw trash everywhere.
Amboseli- elepahnts at the base of Mt Kilamanjaro. Not many cats. People go for the elephants l. Rough, dry hard place. Poachers.
Ole Pajeta- known for rhinos. Last white rinos on earth. Lots of shit bag poachers driven by the Chinese. Unbelieveable landscape. Private reserve, take advantage of thr helpful guides, thry know so much and yoi will learn so kuch from them and come back inspired or outraged.

Leave the wet blanket at home, sieze the day. You only live once.[/quote]
