Make sure that you pay the amount of deposit that the company requires for complete confirmation cannot be assured without some cash deposit. With accommodation you can be sure that your safari will happen at the dates you have chosen. In between high Season and low season we have mid season from November to December 15th this is during the short rains.

Low season or off season starts in April until end of June each year. This is the Kenya winter time when the rains are received in the entire country. unfortunately this makes the roads in and out of the various parks impassable. This is when clients are advised to use local flights in the very disparately affected parks to connect their safari.

What you need while on safari:

Passport

3-4 short sleeved shirts or T-shirts 1-2 pairs of trousers

Tracksuit pants, Personal toiletries and a towel

Light sweater

Hat, Torch and spare batteries

Boots or trainers Shoes

Sleeping bag, Penknife

1-2 pairs shorts, Camera and film

Heavy sweater, Water bottle

Underwear, Sunglasses

Water / windproof jacket, Sewing kit

Sandals, Set of smart clothes & shoes

Please remember that Africa can be colder than you might expect particularly at night and in

the early morning

VACCINATIONS

Please consult your doctor or immunization center for the relevant vaccination requirements

to the countries to which you intend to visit.

YELLOW FEVER

vaccination is compulsory for most African countries. We also recommend vaccinations for

typhoid, tetanus, hepatitis, meningitis and cholera. Malaria is endemic in most parts of Africa.

It is your responsibility to take anti-malaria tablets and other preventive measures. You should

consult your doctor before your departure. We advice the use of insect repellant containing

DEET and wearing long sleeved shirts and trousers at night.

TRAVEL INSUARANCE

Personal travel insurance is recommendable. This should include comprehensive medical

cover repatriation, personal effects and luggage, as well as cancellation and curtailment

insurance.

FLYING DOCTORS’ SERVICES

In many parts of Africa, access to adequate health care can mean long, torturous journeys by

road. The Flying Doctors’ services operated by AMREF not only provide outreach and emergency

care to local communities in remote regions; it also provides a medical air evacuation services

to travelers. With a temporary registration fee of € 25.00 [valid for a month from the time of

registration] you can be evacuated from whenever you will be in case of any emergency, to the

best hospitals in Nairobi. The fee however does not cover the hospital or medical fee.

VALUABLES
Keep all your documents - Passports, money and jewelry in the hotel safety box
AVOID
Walking alone especially in the night. The safest way to move from one place to another is by
taking a cab. Rates differ from time to time and must be negotiated.

BE AWARE

Of the distractions by street children in order to facilitate jewelry snatching & pick pocketing.
MONEY
