What is the best time to visit Kenya for a safari?

The peak season is July to October for the Great Migration. January to March is excellent for general wildlife viewing with dry conditions. November to December offers dramatic green landscapes and fewer crowds at lower prices.

Do I need a visa for Kenya?

Most nationalities require an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) which can be obtained online before travel. Visit https://www.etakenya.go.ke/ to apply. Processing is typically 3 business days. We provide guidance for all our clients.

Is it safe to travel in Kenya?

Yes — when travelling with a reputable operator in the established parks and reserves. Nairobi requires normal urban precautions. Our driver-guides are trained in safety protocols and we monitor government travel advisories daily.

What vaccinations do I need?

Yellow Fever vaccination is required if arriving from a Yellow Fever endemic country. Anti-malarial medication is recommended for most parks. Consult your travel clinic 4–6 weeks before departure. We provide a full health briefing.

What is the currency in Kenya? Can I use USD?

Kenya uses the Kenyan Shilling (KES). USD is widely accepted in tourist areas — bring post-2013 bills in good condition. ATMs are available in Nairobi and major towns. Credit cards work in lodges and larger restaurants.
