Best Time to Visit
Kenya is a year-round destination, but the best safari months are June to October (dry season) and January to February. The coast is warm and sunny almost all year.
Travel Documents
Most visitors need a valid passport and an eVisa, which can be applied for online before arrival. Always check entry requirements for your nationality.
Health & Safety
We recommend travel insurance, malaria prevention, and carrying necessary personal medication. Bottled water is advised during your stay.
Currency & Payments
The local currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). Credit cards are accepted in major hotels, but cash is useful for local markets and smaller places.
Language
English and Swahili are official languages. In Watamu and coastal Kenya, Italian is also widely spoken.
Packing Tips
For safaris: light clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars. For the coast: swimwear, sandals, and light evening wear.
Responsible Travel
Respect wildlife by keeping a safe distance, avoid single-use plastics, and support local communities by buying handmade crafts.
