Weather:
Temperatures are between 27-30 Degrees Centigrade during the hottest months which fall between January to April. Nights can be cold in the higher altitudes especially during our winter of June to October. Rainy seasons begin late March to May. Some light rains can be expected in October to November but they all say ''as unpredictable as the weather''.

Buggage:

Luggage on safari should be kept minimum because space in vehicles and light aircraft is limited. This should be preferably in soft canvas bags. Excess baggage will be stored at clients expence.

Clothing:

We emphasise on decent  and comfortable clothes. Most lodges and hotels have swimming pools so bring your swim wear. sunglasses and hats to protect yourself from the sun. Pack warm items for the chilly nights and if you are destined for any of our mountain peaks.  Comfortable clothes are needed for nature walks and trecks. Some hotels and lodges have a dresscode for their restaurants but this is liberal.

Health:

Always consult your doctor before departure. Malaria is endemic in certain areas of East Africa. Carry insect repellant and speak to your doctor about what prophlactics may suit you. Most lodges and hotels provide mosquito nets for you to sleep under.

Water:

Drink boiled or bottled water. Bottled water can be found in all supermarkets, shops and restaurants.

Security:

Africa in no different from anwhere else in the world. By using common sence you should travel without an insident. Take care of your valuables, carry small amounts of money and avoid wearing expencive jewellery when walking in towns and villages.

Before taking photographs of local people, ask for permission and agree on the price first.

Accomodation:

Wherever possible we book rooms with private baths and showers in hotels and lodges. For camps, sharing is inevitable. Single rooms are available at a supplementary cost and you are entitled to pay the single room supplement if you wish to have a room to yourself. Children may not be allowed into some lodges but we will be glad to tailor a family safari package for you.

Transportation:

Safari minibuses with pop up roof ideal for game viewing and photography are used during the safari.  Cars and four wheel drive vehicles can also be employed according to the route and number of participants. Travel by air can also be used but this should be arranged prior to the safari.

Taxis are readily available. Settle on a fare before hiring a taxi to avoid exploitation.

Dont ask for directions from strangers idling in the sreets, they could be thugs.

Keep copies of your documents away from original ones in case of loss.

Language:

English is widely spoken though Kiswahili is our national language. Multilingual driver/guides can be supplied if required.

Currency/ Tipping:

U.S Dollars, sterling pounds Kenyan Shillings and Major credit cards are acceptable. Please use official money changing bureaux and avoid street dealers.

Tips are always appreciated if the job is well done. Small denominations always come in handy for this purposes.
