Going to Eastern Africa...

Headed to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania/Zanzibar for 3 weeks, returning before Christmas.

We've never been there before, but thought it would be an amazing place to visit. We are just starting to plan things out, but we like to organize most of our accommodations/excursions from the ground once we arrive as opposed to pre-booking anything. I imagine we will arrive in Kampala, Uganda and slowly work our way east/south to Zanazibar. We're tying to do stuff on the cheap, because we have another trip planned for early next year which is going to send me to the poorhouse. Normally we backpack wherever we go, so when I say cheap, it can get pretty cheap as long as it's clean and safe.

Anyone ever been to these countries before?
Places you visited and highly recommend or avoid?
Transportation on the cheap, but fast?
Accommodation on the cheap, but clean enough?

Any insight is always appreciated!
Cheers:)

I was born in Kenya and lived there for several years. Mombasa is a great beach / tourist area. Also the ngoro crater has some awesome lodges and resorts.
 
I went to Tanzania/Zanzibar back in 2009 for two weeks. I used a tour operator that was recommened on the National Geographic website. The tour operator was colled Born Free Safaris, and they were able to work out an afordable amount.

I will send you a PM with more details
 
make sure you pack enough condoms. i ran out on my last trip and had to resort to an ancient tribal method of wrapping jellyfish around my johnson...

oh and the crabs... if you get them then you best do something quick. if left alone they turn in lobsters pretty quick.
 
If you get a chance can you shoot over to Nigeria and check out a few really cheap bikes for me? Also, I seem to have a rich great uncle who left me millions of dollars that I need someone to sign for ;)
