The Perfect Trip Planner   February 11, 2003
I had always dreamed of going to Africa, but my husband was terrified at the prospect. We bought this Kenya guide in hopes of getting some accurate information. We found it very organized and pleasant to read. Ms. Vachon's book relieved many of his fears and we used the book intensely in planing our trip. Every tip, review and suggestion she wrote turned out to be true. We really credit this book in helping us experience the trip of a lifetime.

Pretty comprehensive. Covers all the do's and dont's and lets you design the type of experience you want. Helpful that the author actually grew up there....


Kenya Guide: Be A Traveler--Not A Tourist   February 9, 2003

As a seasoned traveler, I have learned to rely on books like this to help me plan my trips. Long a fan of Frommer and Fodor, I trust these authorities when choosing b&bs, hotels, tours, etc. I can now add Vachon to my list. She's "right-on" when it comes to the facts and I wasn't a bit disappointed in taking her advice. As a native of Kenya, she knows things about the country that the mere visitor wouldn't be privy to...all the more reason to trust what she has to say. I recommend this book 100% for your first (or next) trip to this wonderful part of the world!

After reading the book, gave a copy to a friend who was planning a trip to Kenya. All the information proved accurate. It was the deciding factor in including a balloon safari in the itinerary, which made the trip a smashing success. The book made a hero of the BIG BOY!
