Essential Information
Self-Drive Safari Experience
This unique guided self-drive safari lets you navigate the untamed landscapes yourself. Drive through offbeat trails, river crossings, and open grasslands with expert backup. Morning and evening drives offer the best wildlife viewing. Our guides provide safety briefings, route planning, and enrich your journey with storytelling while you enjoy the thrill of driving through the wild.
Weather Conditions
Kenya has a tropical climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons. The best time for wildlife viewing is during the dry seasons (June-October and January-February) when animals gather around water sources. Temperatures range from 20-30°C during the day, dropping to 10-15°C at night, especially in highlands. Early mornings and evenings can be cool, so bring layers.
Health & Safety
Consult your doctor about required vaccinations and malaria prevention measures before traveling to Kenya. Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from countries with risk of transmission. Drink only bottled water and use insect repellent, especially in the evenings. Our guides prioritize your safety on game drives, ensuring respectful distances from wildlife.
Packing Essentials
Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (avoid bright colors and blue, which attracts tsetse flies). Include a warm jacket for cool mornings/evenings, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfortable closed shoes. Bring a good camera with zoom lens, binoculars, and a small daypack. Luggage should be soft-sided bags under 15kg due to small aircraft limitations.
