I am a 30 year old male traveling alone from Los Angeles to Nairobi and hopefully down to Tanzania, and Mt. Kilimanjaro this summer ('04) from mid-July to mid-August.
I'm interested in exploring the safaris and regular East African life, perhaps even stay with a family or rent from someone already living there.
I know nothing about the land or the people, so I'm pretty open and hope to learn alot during this initial planning stage. Any tips, hints, suggestions or referrals would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a vegan and if you have any tips for managing my diet while I'm there, any good restaurants or whatever, it would be greatly appreciated. (I'm open to eating fish, sparingly)
