Looking to take my family on a Safari next spring, summer of early fall. It's one of those "100 things to do....", but not sure even where to start. Planning a 10 to 14 day trip, and my kids range in age from 15 to 19, and we like active tours with "no frills", but not hostels.

Basic questions and what I am looking are as follows:

* Reccomendations for dates (based on weather, sights, etc)

* Reccomendations for countries to see, and things to see in those countries.

* Reccomendations for travel routes from the US.

Appreciate any input you can offer, and if I can help for a Seattle Washington trip, don't hestitate to ask!

Thanks!
