1) What is the minimum age limit for trekkers on the Inca Trail? There is no legal minimum age requirement for a person to trek the Inca trail. However, it is a difficult trek, and depending on the fitness and ability of your child, we believe, from our own experience, that the trek would be suitable for children 12-14 years and over Tour itinerary

2)  Is there any where on Kilimanjaro I can charge electrical items (digital camera, MP3)...? No, unfortunately not. Once you leave the hotel you will effectively be without electrical power until your return there. As such, you need to carry enough batteries with you for the entire trip. Remember too, that battery life is almost halved at high altitude, so you need to pack more batteries than you would normally got through. I would not recommend you bring your IPOD as these have a tendency to die" at high altitude  Tour itinerary

3) I am interested in the migration of the Wildebeest in Kenya at the Mara River. When is the best time to go? The animals tend to arrive at the Mara River from Tanzania in about July of each year. I say "about," because the movement of the animals depends on the amount of rain received. The more rain in Tanzania, the longer they will stay, the less rain, the faster they move. It is best to time your safari in Kenya around August, September for the best chance of seeing the migration. Alternatively, you can head over to Tanzania in May instead. Tour itinerary
