Heading out on a safari? Here are five essential tips to make your trip smooth and enjoyable:
- Pack Light, but Smart: Bring comfortable clothes for layering, a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes. Don’t forget binoculars and a camera!
- Get Vaccinated: Consult your doctor about vaccinations and medications, such as for malaria prevention.
- Respect Wildlife: Always follow your guide’s instructions and keep a safe distance from animals to ensure safety and preserve their natural habitat.
- Choose the Right Season: The dry season (June-October) is ideal for game viewing, while the wet season offers lush landscapes and bird migrations.
- Bring Local Currency: Kenyan shillings are necessary for small purchases and tipping your guides or staff.
By preparing ahead, you’ll ensure your safari is stress-free and full of amazing memories.
