My Trip to Africa dilema...to go or to not go

well I have been planning an African safari trip for a year now. It cost $$$ and is paid for.I was so excited about seeing all the animals and people.
But that has changed...I became aware of this travel warning http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_923.html and then to top it off I stupidly watched the movie Blood Diamonds.
So now- do I go or cancel???????????????????????????????//Am I being my normal worrying self? But reading that warning sounds like a real threat to my safety.. The group organizer says she was aware of it and would take precautions just like she would advise anyone who came to Washington Dc where she lives. The travel company says everyone is going and having a good time and they have trained people bla bla bla ..
I do have insurance where I can cancel and get vouchers for other places. When the Boy gets back from Florida we have to talk more .
Meanwhile I am gettng ready to go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival . The boy is coming back just in time so we will barely cross paths and switch cars.The Mini backseat is too small for 2 knitters that long of drive. He gets to take care of the pugs too.
