The death of Trent has left a bitter taste that has simmered over time and currently I currently feel that the company should to be booted out of the country.

Terri no one is claiming Thomson Safaris had anything to do with Trent’s death. That’s being used to distract from Thomson’s appalling PR job in their press comments.
I haven’t read, nor have I quoted, anything from Tanzania’s press so it’s pointless bringing that in.
The comments from Karen appeared on NZ and American news websites.
I don’t need to give Thomson a break for calling them on rubbish spoken on their behalf that’s in the public domain.

Thomson Safaris had nothing to do with the death of Trent Keegan. I met with Rick and Judi yesterday in Arusha (my home town), and they are totally gob-smacked by these accusations! We are trying to disentangle the spider from his/her web of lies in Loliondo, and I will be happy to keep you all informed of progress. PLEASE give Thomson Safaris a break and stop believing everything you read in Tanzania’s well-meaning but avid-for-scandal press.

The company name has cropped up in various articles on the murder, and the company had this to say on the matter: “Obviously it’s a tragedy. But the fact this company has had its name associated with this nightmare is another tragedy.” With that kind of hyperbole, reading the back of a cornflakes packet must seem like War and Peace to Thomson.

Good work being done here. Please keep this in mind when you think of booking a safari holiday! Trent Keegan lives on Karen Schwartzman might do well to remember that………

[...] Thomson Safaris – assholes. Karen Schwartzman, a spokeswoman for the company, had this to say in response to their name being associated with the murder: “Obviously it’s a tragedy. But the fact this company has had its name associated with this nightmare is another tragedy.” [...]
