    Vacation Advice Requested

    Kenya would certainly be a good bet - either north (preferably) or south of Mombasa. Excellent hotels and beaches with plenty of birds in and around the hotels. A 2/3-day safari to Tsavo National Park is both affordable and popular with tourists, offering the chance to see plenty of animals...

    I spent a few days in the Tandayapa Valley a couple of years back. It will probably rain most days but not usually for too long, so I would strongly recomment you wear 'layers' of clothing.
