• Ask Questions – do not be hesitant if you have hundreds of questions running through your mind, the only way you will get what you really what is making sure you have all the information you need. If it takes questions for you to be satisfied, then go ahead and ask as many questions as possible.
• Ask around – friends or family members that have been to Kenya will be in a position to help you. Ask for their opinion about certain travel companies. On the other hand, you can choose the company that they chose, but only if they were satisfied with the company’s services.
• Know the general profile of your group – By knowing the gender, marital status, age and other factors which may also include social status you can get a general idea of what kind of company and safari package to select for your trip also most tour companies often have created their packages to  accommodate a specific type of person
• Safari Guide Experience – The success of any safari undoubtedly depends on your safari guide. A fully trained guide especially in aspects such as wildlife behavior, geology and geography of locations will make a great difference. It would be also prudent to ask if the guide has any experience in first aid. A driver/guide with basic car maintenance experience would also be of great help if the vehicle has issues when you are on safari. If you can have a conversation with your guide before the safari it would be uttermost convenience and it would also help you to know if the person has a pleasant personality.
• Pre-safari orientation – It’s usually a plus if you can get pre-trip information from your Safari Operator , this will help you to get information about your safari program, get background information about the place where you are going to visit and help you even in planning what to carry along as you come for your trip.
• No obligation quotes on rates and availability – A good company will send you a no-obligation quote by email and will save you the trouble of having to contact them with questions on your safari cost.
