Safari Holiday

Can anyone recommend a travel company that sell full escorted Safaris. Would like to go to Kenya or Tanzania but am open to other suggestions. Holiday dates are mid July this year. Thanks

    Sister and B-in-Law booked fully escorted Safari in Kenya via Virgin (used Tesco vouchers to bring price down) and were very happy with it.
    Just because somebody is certain doesn't mean they are right!

    We went to Kenya with African Safari Club - was very good, excellent accommodation and food, although I am always surprised to be eating 10 course dinners out in the middle of nowhere!!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    We had a brochure from them not long ago too! So glad we did not book up - shame though, they were a good company.

    And about time too - African Safari Club [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] were a disgusting outfit.

    This company treat their employees like s**t and I for one will not be sorry to see them go.

    Of course there will be hardship for the locals in the short term (although it always was with ASC as employees get paid infrequently - and very little ) but I am sure a reputable company will come along and pick up the pieces.

    Good riddance.
    shame though, they were a good company

    Were they? I would suggest their employees will disagree.
