Why go on safari to Kenya?

Kenya is a dream destination for safari enthusiasts, offering some of the most iconic wildlife experiences on the planet. The country is home to the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the Serengeti-Maasai Mara ecosystem, creating one of nature’s most spectacular spectacles. Kenya’s diverse landscapes, from the golden savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the rugged terrain of Samburu and the pristine beaches of the Kenyan coast, provide a stunning backdrop for any adventure. With opportunities to spot the Big Five, interact with Maasai and Samburu communities, and enjoy luxurious safari lodges or tented camps, Kenya delivers an unparalleled blend of wildlife, culture, and comfort. Whether you’re a first-time traveller or a seasoned safari-goer, Kenya promises an unforgettable experience.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN TRAVELLING TO KENYA

Currency – Kenya uses the Kenyan Shilling (KES) as its official currency. It’s recommended to carry small denominations for local markets and tips, although credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas and larger establishments.

Plugs – Kenya uses Type G plugs, the same as the UK, with a standard voltage of 240V and a frequency of 50Hz. Travelers from countries with different plug types or voltages may need an adapter and a voltage converter.

Tipping –Tipping in Kenya is appreciated but not mandatory and typically depends on the quality of service. In restaurants, a tip of 10-15% of the bill is customary. For safari guides, drivers, and lodge staff, tipping is common, with recommendations around $10-15 per day for guides and $5-10 per day for other staff. Smaller tips are welcomed for porters, taxi drivers, and housekeeping. It’s always best to tip in Kenyan Shillings or US Dollars for convenience.

Entry Requirements –visas are required for most international visitors, and they can often be obtained online through the eVisa system. Additionally, travelers should ensure their vaccinations are up to date, particularly for yellow fever, malaria prevention, and typhoid, as these are important for staying healthy while exploring the country. Always carry proof of vaccination if required.
