When planning your trip to Africa, it's crucial to ensure you have the necessary documents and documentation. These will ensure a smooth journey. From mosquito repellent and sunscreen to managing acclimatization, every detail is crucial.
Daily Necessities and Do's and Don'ts
1. Daily Necessities
Most Kenyan hotels don't provide toiletries, so remember to bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, and slippers.
Bring a reusable bag. Kenya has a plastic ban, so avoid bringing plastic bags to avoid unnecessary hassles.
Bring your own water bottle and disinfectant, such as disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer.
Use bottled water whenever possible; avoid tap water, as it can cause diarrhea.
2. Other Equipment
Don't forget to bring a mask or face shield. The roads are mostly dirt, and dusty throughout the day. Dust protection is especially important.
Some campsites have limited lighting at night, so bring a headlamp or flashlight.
Safety and Other Precautions
1. Safari Rules
Do not leave your vehicle or approach wildlife. Follow your guide's instructions.
Avoid using flash photography to minimize disturbance to animals.
2. Financial and Personal Safety
Travel with a group and avoid traveling alone at night. Prepare small amounts of US dollars in cash (for tips) and a credit card.
3. Prohibited Items
Ivory products, plastic bags, etc. Violators may face fines or imprisonment.
