Hi there! I would be grateful of some advice on Kenya and two hotels in particular please?

I am very keen on this destination for my next holiday - hoping to go over the New Year. We have seen a couple of what look like good deals on the net which combine a beach stay with a 3 day safari in Tsavo West/East.

I've read on here that many tend to wait until they're in Kenya to book their Safari as its cheaper. Is this recommeneded? What do you consider "cheap" and how much is a typical 3 day Safari with an independent organiser???

I am usually quite keen to cut costs but as this is our first time in Kenya, I don't want anything to spoil the Safari experience!

The two hotels which we've seen are: Bamburi Beach Hotel and the Sun 'n' Sand Resort. If you can direct me to reviews, I would be very grateful - I have seen some on other websites which are quite mixed!

Thanks in advance!

Eiry
