AYU Gorillas & Masai Mara ; extra day in Nairobi?

Hey Krzysztof! I recently booked onto this trip and am super excited about seeing the gorillas!! It's been a long time since I went on an Exodus trip, in fact on any trip at all...September can't come quick enough!!

So have you been away with Exodus before?

Hey Krzystof, I am not on this trip but would also highly recommend you seeing the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which has elephants and rhinos.  They are all nearby so you will be able to manage this in a day.  

Hiya:) Thanks for the info Sonia! David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust looks great. Don't think I should go there though....will end up fostering a baby elephant....sure as eggs;) I definitely want to go to the Giraffe Centre, Nairobi National Park and have a dinner at the Carnivore. Do you think I would manage to squeeze Sheldrick's Trust in without rushing things too much?Did you book an extra day in Nairobi Leah? I really don't think that going straight to lake Naivasha is such a good plan. Seems to me there is loads to see in Nairobi...and maybe brave a matatu ride;)  Having said all that, I'm not even sure if I'm on this trip yet:( I've just spoken with someone from exodus an hour ago to confirm my booking, just to find out that the person who prearranged the booking in November no longer works for the company, my option has expired and I have not been notified. Should find out tomorrow if I'm going on this one, but if I will have to reschedule after fighting tooth and nail for my annual leave I will not be chuffed;)Anyway...life is to short to worry about things like that. I'm just about to start packing my bags for another exodus trip: Discovering Thailand, Laos & Cambodia, that departs beginning of February (this one is fully booked and paid for so I'm bloody going!!! ;))) I've travelled with Exodus once before in 2011 to China. It was all well organised and the fellow travellers were amazing so I have my expectations high;)Hope I'll get to meet you in Nairobi Leah;) I should know tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for me, will you? ;) 

My booking has been confirmed so I am going on this one, Whoop Whoop!

DOING TRIP IN REVERSE THEN SPENDING 5 NIGHTS IN ZANZIBAR NOT BEEN WITH EXODUS BEFORE LAST TRIP WITH INTREPID TO SARRAWAK AND SABAH 

Hi Krzysztof, I am booked on the same trip as you in September, and I would also love to visit the giraffe centre and the animal orphanage. I've been trying to pluck up the courage to take an extra day in Nairobi to do it, but I've never travelled on my own before and the idea of a group flight is too much of a comfort to me at the moment! Perhaps I'll find a bit of extra nerve before I pay the rest of my bill!! 

Hi folks we are doing this trip in reverse starting 6th Sept. Haven't been on a Safari before and the fact

it includes the Gorillas as well is fantastic. Very much looking forward to it. We aren't extending to Zanibar or adding the extra day in Nairobi. If anyone has any useful advice about clothing etc would be grateful to hear

We have been on an Exodus trip before we went to Peru in 2011 with them including trekking to Macchu Picchu. Their organisation is 2nd to none.That was the first time we had used them but we had come across them several times when we have been in Nepal.
