I'm most looking forward to the Serengeti to see the animals and Zanzibar Island which looks absolutely gorgeous. Steve is most looking forward to seeing the mountain gorillas in Uganda.
After the tour we have return tickets to come home for christmas in order to get visas for India and then head off there in mid-January.
See you then!
love Kathryn Steve xxxx
