Esther is a specialist in African Safaris and a tour operator. The tour company she co-owns, African Safaris & Adventures, has presence in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Egypt, Madascar, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Seychelles.
Planning an Africa Safari Vacation can at times look a little overwhelming, many travelers have done it and the challenge is that every tour safari company you visit promises you superb and an unforgettable travel experience, the Big 5, open savannah and luxury beach resorts accommodation: what they promise you is everything you want to hear! So which one do you choose and what type of safari in Kenya is right for you? Is it a luxury wildlife safari with lodge accommodation, camping adventure, flying tours to Samburu, Lake Nakuru safari or a hot-air balloon safari over the Masai Mara in Kenya, a cheap safari holidays to Kenya
These are the frustrations and that is why we have set up the Planning Safari Holiday Guide which is completely independent and all the views expressed on it are our opinions or those of travelers who have traveled and advised us based on a lot of research and places we have been and seen for ourselves.
Beach Holiday and Safari Holidays in Kenya - The aim has also been to include beach vacations with a safari holiday in Kenya as many travelers want to get the most out of their safari experience and not be restricted to a wildlife safari holiday, good examples are the Beach and Safari Holidays in Kenya, Diving and Safari Holidays in Mombassa and Malindi or even a beach and Safari holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Family Safari Holidays - Wherever possible try to include interesting options for the whole family, Africa can seem a daunting place for those that have never visited the continent before and may not seem initially as the ideal family holiday destination, there is a lot culturally that you and your children can learn from Africa. A family holiday in Kenya, Zanzibar Island and Tanzania are perfect starting points if you wish to take on safari with your children and there are many family friendly lodges and camps. If you are not sure which is the best National Park for you in Africa our reserve & national park guide points out what options are available and hopefully help you decide.
Safari Planner : A small section at the moment but with time the idea for this section is for it to be a resource on "everything else safari", so not about the safari destinations themselves, but information on things like choosing the best binoculars for going on a safari, the best digital camera for Safari, hiking boots for walking safaris. There is a guide on what types of safari there are, which animals form the Big 5 and why, interactive maps of safari destinations and animal guides, including where to go to find them and what interesting things you may be able to tell your guide about them!

There is also an independent guide to the islands of Zanzibar, just of the Tanzanian coast.
