[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin and I are headed to Kenya and Tanzania this summer for a safari trip to a few of the parks there - masai Mara, Serengeti, Lake Nakuru. I would like to pack an extra suitcase full of my children’s outgrown clothes and toys to donate to local children and villages. My understanding is that we will pass through various villages along the way as we drive to the different game parks.

My cousin who has been on safari before told me no, that we can’t just go into the villages and give them “our crap” (her words not mine!!!!).

I’ve done a lot of research on our trip including watching lots of YouTube videos and I see safari vans going through the villages and children run up to the cars. My plan was to give them stuff when they come running up. Or asking our safari guide if we can stop at various villages and just donate to whoever we see, or if he knows someone.

If you have been on safari, what do you think? My children have lots of nice clothes that look brand new, plus tons of toys. I’d rather give it to them than donate to the local thrift store.
