Tips for Traveling to Kenya
Here are 20 tips for traveling to Kenya.
1. When you enter Kenya through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, ensure you have enough Kenyan shillings to buy a sim card and other goodies to help you while you are touring around the country.
2. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from entry into Kenya.
3. Check your insurance policy to see if it covers you while traveling to Kenya. If not, you may have to take out a separate policy or pay for cover at a high premium rate. It is best to be prepared, so check this before going on a trip!
4. To avoid delays at immigration, ensure you have all your documents ready. Make sure the official immigration stamps are on your passport before leaving home to speed up the process. You cannot enter Kenya without proper documentation.
5. Make sure you have an excellent guide to help show you around and explain things about Kenya’s history and culture.
6. Be prepared for a safari in Kenya by organizing your trip well ahead of time. This will give you a better chance to ensure that you see the animals and have pleasant weather for photos.
7. Make sure you have enough space on your digital memory card or camera to take pictures! Remember, not every photo turns out as great as you think it will, so make sure you have space.
8. Be prepared for weather changes when climbing Mt Kenya and during the safari in Kenya. The temperature can quickly vary from hot to cold, especially when it rains or snows!
9. Make sure you fully charge your camera battery before you leave on a safari in Kenya, and do not forget to pack some spare batteries for your camera and video camera.
10. Make sure you have extra memory cards, a dust cloth, and lens caps for your digital camera––and don’t forget the rest of your essential photography gear! Read More…
