FAQ's
Do I need a visa for Kenya?
Most people do. Kenya now runs an eTA system (Electronic Travel Authorisation) that you apply for online before you fly. It’s straightforward, but don’t leave it until the last minute. We’ll point you to the official site once your trip is confirmed.
When is the best time for a safari?
There’s no single “best” month, it depends on what you want. July to October is classic migration season in the Mara and generally dry. January to March is also excellent. The greener months (April – June and November – December) are quieter, beautiful in a different way, and often better value.
Can you build a trip around what I actually want?
That’s how we prefer to work. Tell us the kind of experience you’re after, how long you have, and what matters most to you, and we’ll shape something that fits rather than forcing you into a fixed package.
How does payment work?
A deposit secures the booking. The rest is usually due closer to travel. We’ll send clear payment instructions and never pressure you into anything last-minute.
Will I get internet in the bush?
In the cities and at the coast, yes. In the parks it varies a lot, some camps have decent Wi-Fi, others barely any. We can tell you exactly what to expect on your specific itinerary.
Do I need vaccinations?
Speak to a travel clinic. Malaria prevention is important for most safari areas, and yellow fever rules depend on where you’re coming from. Better to get proper medical advice than rely on general lists.
How early should I book?
For the busy months (especially the Mara in high season), earlier is better – six to twelve months if you want specific camps. Outside peak times we can often put trips together with less notice.
What should I pack?
Keep it simple: neutral clothes, a warm fleece for early drives, hat, sunscreen, good shoes, and binoculars if you have them. We’ll send a practical packing list once everything is locked in.
Is it safe?
With the right guides and vehicles, yes. We only work with people and places we trust, and your guide will always brief you on how things work in the bush.
What kind of places will I stay in?
We use a mix – comfortable tented camps, good lodges, and the occasional more special property when it makes sense. We’ll match the style to your taste and budget rather than pushing one type of accommodation.
