Daywear:
Since the temperature can change throughout the day, it’s best to dress in layers. A typical outfit might include: a lightweight t-shirt or long-sleeve shirt, a sweater, fleece, or a light jacket. Comfortable trousers, jeans, or khakis. Please bring neutral colours for the safari experience.
Early morning and evening wear:
Casual attire with a lightweight jacket or a windbreaker should be sufficient but bring a slightly heavier jacket if you tend to feel the cold.
What not to forget:
Camera, binoculars (if you have them), chargers, batteries if needed, adaptor plug (Kenya plug type pictured), sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR YOUR ETA VISA TO ENTER KENYA AND YOU HAVE A CURRENT YELLOW FEVER VACCINE CERTIFICATE/CARD.
