Travel Tips

Here are some travel tips you may find useful. You can find more details here.

Clothing & Culture

Kenya is culturally diverse and generally welcoming. Lightweight, breathable clothing is best, especially in warmer regions. Modest attire is recommended when visiting rural communities, schools, villages, or places of worship, with shoulders and knees covered. Comfortable walking shoes are essential. A hat, sunglasses, and a light scarf or shawl are useful for sun protection and for adapting to different cultural settings.

Tipping

Tipping is appreciated in Kenya and often forms an important part of service workers’ income. In hotels and restaurants, a small tip is customary for good service, while guides and drivers typically receive tips at the end of the trip. Our guests typically reward our guides with USD 5 - 15 per person per day, while drivers usually receive USD 3 - 5 per person per day.

Currency & Money

The local currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and larger establishments, but cash is useful for small purchases, tips, and local markets. ATMs are available in cities, though access may be limited in rural areas. It’s best to carry small denominations and avoid displaying large sums of cash.

Health & Vaccinations

It’s recommended to consult your healthcare provider or a travel clinic well before departure. Routine vaccinations should be up to date, and additional vaccinations may be advised depending on your travel history and itinerary. Travel insurance is essential, and carrying basic medications, sunscreen, insect repellent, and hand sanitiser will help you stay comfortable throughout the trip.

Climate

Kenya’s climate varies by region and altitude, but temperatures are generally warm during the day with cooler mornings and evenings, particularly in higher-altitude areas. Overall, conditions are pleasant and well suited to outdoor activities.
