All you need to know before you travel!

Packing List …

When was the last time you explored a new destination? When is your next escape? Allow your wandering heart to thrive in an immersion of new experiences, new sights, new smells, new flavors, and new feelings. The world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. Don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.

Luggage:

On internal flights, you are limited to luggage and hand luggage of 33 pounds or 15 kgs.  Bring one medium size soft duffel bag (or two small to medium size duffel bags).  Your hand luggage should include your camera equipment, toiletries and one change of clothes.  ImportantPlease do not bring hard suitcases as these are difficult to pack in small aircraft.

Clothing:

What to pack: Kenya is casual.  Please bring neutral colours, as bright colours and white can startle the animals. Remember, as there is lots of dust, khaki is always good.

The best method of dress is layering.  Early morning and evening game runs call for a sweater/fleece or windbreaker over a cotton long-sleeved shirt.
A T-shirt or short–sleeved cotton shirt is good for mid-day. Hats are a must. Cotton trousers, shorts, trainers or comfortable hiking shoes are recommended.  Should you be interested in walking then light weight hiking boots would be useful.  Sandals will work in lighter terrain.  Evenings can be cool and dress is casual.  A fleece with a light-weight turtle neck and jeans are perfect. Safari style jackets/vests are convenient for photographers with their many pockets for film, lenses etc.
