Hi I am a paraplegic and wish to go on safari next year.

I am a bit nervous in case i make the wrong choices. is there anyone reading this who has first hand experience who can recommend the right place / company to go with.

Is there anyone who is also planning this sort of trip that i could maybe share info with?

Does anyone know of any charities in England that arrange these sorts of holidays?

Thank you sazzles

Here are some links to web sites of companies that provide accessible safaris...

I've never heard of any charities that pay for people to go on holidays - if there was, the queue would be enormous! Why would there be a charity for this??? I thought we all want to be treated equally!

There are charities that offer dream breaks for disabled, terminally ill or severely sick kids, but just being disabled doesn't qualify for a free holiday!

wow.. always learning. The honeymoon of my dreams was a safari and it just turned again to "is a safari"

Sorry i didn't mean that i wanted someone to pay for me, this is certainly not the case. It was the organising of the trip that I was concerned with, having not done anything like this before and if an organisation had arranged a trip like this before i may be able to get some advice. Sazzle
