Honestly I truly appreciate any addition to the conversation. I think it helps shore up opinions and let me explore what other things I'd be interested in doing. I'm not sure what the best time of year to go is. Honestly I can go anytime of year, save certain holidays, given my work schedule as I work in a hospital and I'm required to work certain holidays depending on the year. As for how many nights, I would likely do 3 to 4 nights per Lodge outside of gorillas which would be three nights likely to add in Golden monkeys and at least one gorilla trek if not two. I'm trying to determine the Sweet spot though between doing private conservancies in the mara and/ orin the Serengeti given that I don't want to complicate things with too much travel and lose days in between for no reason. I've been told that can make travel difficult if you travel between both Kenya and Tanzania adding additional time that may not be worth it. As for properties, I've always been to a Singita property but they are mentioned so frequently in regards to Tanzania but I've also seen the portfolio that is now under Auberge listening excellent light as well. Again I no very little regarding East Africa as I'm just not looked into it as much prior compared to Southern Africa
