Kenya Pre-departure Information
Passport
A valid passport is required for travel to any destination that
we offer. In addition it is important that the passport remain
valid for a period of six months beyond your travel date. This
is essential; please carefully check your passport or you may be
denied access to your flight. There must also be sufficient
empty pages in your passport (two blank pages side by side for
each country you will visit). Allow enough time to obtain a new
passport.
VISAS TO EAST AFRICA
Kenya tourist visa can be obtained at Jomo Kenyatta airport on
arrival while Tanzania visa can be obtained at the Namanga
boarder entry point . You don�t require a multiple entry visa
for travel in East Africa since the Kenyan Tourist visa allows
you to enter and leave Kenya as long as you are traveling within
East Africa.
You can apply for single entry and transit visas on the
following link; Kenyan Visa and for Tanzanian Visas
HEALTH Travel to the tourist regions of East Africa does not
pose any extra health risks such as would occur if you were an
aid worker or visiting very remote areas. The lodges and camps
we use are vigilant with food preparation. Common sense is in
order, be sure to wash your hands frequently especially before
meals. Use bottled water (often called mineral water) for
drinking and to brush your teeth. Malaria is not often
contracted by visitors but is a serious disease and steps must
be taken to prevent it. The best prevention is to avoid being
bitten. The mosquito that carries malaria feeds at night so
cover up in the evening and use repellent. Use a net for
sleeping if provided.
Please consult you doctor or Health Travel Advisory Service to
get up to date advice on vaccination and malaria prophylaxis.
You should travel with your own personal first aid kit including
any over-the-counter or prescription medications that you
regularly use or may need. Eyeglass wearers should bring an
extra pair and contact lens wearers should bring glasses as
well. There can be a lot of dust and glare on safari that can
affect sensitive eyes. A good pair of sunglasses and plenty of
sunscreen are also essential, as is a broad-brimmed hat.
The following vaccinations are often recommended:
Yellow Fever
Polio
Tetanus
Hepatitis
