Kenya safari flights on small aircraft can have tighter baggage rules than an international flight, and “carry-on” may count toward the same allowance as checked luggage. The exact limit depends on the airline, route and aircraft; a duffel that works on one sector may not fit another. This matters most on fly-in itineraries, where bags…
The Samburu National Reserve and the Maasai Mara offer very different Kenya safari experiences. Choose Samburu for northern dryland scenery and the Samburu Special Five; choose the Mara for open plains, big-cat viewing and the chance to see the wildebeest migration when herds are in the region. If you have enough time, the two can…
A Kenya walking safari trades the vehicle view for a slower, guided look at the bush: animal tracks, plants, insects, birds and the way these details fit together. It is best planned as a complement to game drives, not a promise of close encounters with large animals. Where walks are permitted, who may join and…
Most visitors planning a Kenya safari need an approved Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before they begin their journey.

Bring a Type G travel adapter and check the input label on each device before plugging it in. Safari camps may use solar systems, batteries or generators, and power access differs…
Safari camps and lodges may be able to adapt meals, but menus, kitchen equipment and meal arrangements differ from one property to another. Tell every camp about allergies or dietary needs before booking, then ask for a clear answer about ingredients and food preparation. A note on one reservation may not reach the kitchen at…
Night drives are available only in select Kenyan areas. See where to check, what fees and safety rules to confirm, and how to fit one into a safari.

The right safari vehicle depends on your route, group and season. Compare 4x4s, safari vans and roof styles, then confirm seating, safety and vehicle details before you book.
Staying connected on safari depends on your route and camp. Compare roaming, local SIMs, eSIMs and Wi-Fi, then plan for coverage gaps and offline contact.
