For A Great African Safari, Get A Competent Tour Operator

The success of a Kenya wildlife safari is by a large margin determined by the type of tour operator you use

. Not every tour operator listed on the web is authentic. Some dont exist while others are utterly incompetent, unless you want to get stuck in the middle of Maasai Mara because of burst tires or some other reasons.

To begin with, never fall for any tour operator who appears desperate for customers as you are likely to be the only tourist on their safari. The desperate ones are those who roam around Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and believe that every foreigner that sets foot into the country is after some wildlife safari. They dash and approach you, slapping an unbelievable offer in your face and act like without them your trip in Kenya is doomed. Their charming personalities and deceptive smiles can actually mislead but dont bulge.

Never purchase anything on impulse, not in Kenya especially at the airport, and not a safari you have been planning for ages. Other than risking having to endure a low quality safari, you also risk falling for a scam. You can easily watch your money blow up in thin smoke by listening and allowing these fraudsters to deceive you. If they appear determined to make a sale, ask them for a brochure or contacts and promise to contact them. Once you are settled in your hotel, review their website and consult to verify their authenticity. This is the only way to steer clear of any troubles with phony tour operators in Kenya.

Talking of the internet, dont be deceived by the elegant designs and layouts of the websites plus the flowery content. Some sites only sound perfect on the web while in reality, they are either non-existent or they are pathetic. It is always safer to take enough time to research deeply about these companies, what they have to offer, any testimonials and feedback, their rates, mode of payment and related information. You are much safer if you book your Kenyan safari with the company that organized your airline and hotel accommodation. Most of these websites work with competent safari operators and you can easily read reviews about their services.

If it is your first trip to Kenya, the best alternative is to read reviews from travel and related review websites. However, it is not guaranteed that all reviews posted on these sites are authentic enough. There are some companies that pose as reviewers only to heap false praises about how good they are and yet it is not true. You can however use websites like the National Geographic and your governments official travel website. Getting in touch with your countrys embassy in Kenya can also be instrumental in determining which Kenyan safari operator to go with.

The success of your trip will be determined by the authenticity of a tour operator you hire. Take your time, do your homework well and only make a decision once you are convinced that you are using the best services in the industry for an ultimate and memorable Kenyan wildlife safari!
