What You Should know Before Travelling to Kenya

1. First of all, if you are Caucasian, you will have a new nickname – Mzungu. Do not take offence, it has no negative connotation, it is what Africans would call you.
2. Africans are super-friendly and warm, and this may be unfamiliar and uncomfortable. They just want to ensure that you feel at home at all cost
3. Different communities have different ways of expressing greetings. The most common one is shaking of hands, although this has changed with the onset of Covid-19.
4. The weather at any given time of the year is varied but mostly warm and sunny. We will ensure to prepare you depending on the season you plan to travel.
5. There are compulsory vaccinations required for entry to Kenya, in which case a Certificate of Inoculation against Yellow Fever is required for travelers older than one year. Most doctors recommend vaccinating against Polio, Tetanus, Hepatitis and Yellow Fever. Anti-malarial prophylactics are strongly recommended, and should be taken two weeks prior to your arrival. Please consult your own doctor regarding any personal health requirements.
6. Kenya, like most African countries, is a multilingual country. Swahili and English are spoken as the two official languages, in addition to the numerous native languages. We ensure smooth communication in all our excursions.
7. Have some cash with you that you can convert into the local currency. This will come in handy while away from the big cities while shopping for souvenirs.
8. Be open-minded, let live and have an African experience. Forget about where you are from, what you have been told about Africa and live in the moment. Write your story!
