It is a country of extremes in its geography and landscape, from the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak to its lowest at the bed of Lake Tanganyika and to the shores of the Indian Ocean at sea level. Mount Kilimanjaro, with snow at the top, is one of Tanzania’s wonders and many people visit this country just to climb Kilimanjaro.

Sandy Beaches and the Islands

Enjoy the deep blue sea, the sandy beaches and the haven of peace under the palm trees on the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and the other surrounding small islands.

Upon arrival to Kenya, visitors from Europe and Asia can obtain travel visas at the airport. Travel visas are obtained at a fee either at the airport or in advance. Citizens from common wealth countries with the exception of a few d not require visas to enter Kenya. It is convenient to consult with the respective countries consulate, high commission or Kenyan Embassy before traveling.

Its is recommended that all travelers to Kenya and neighboring countries ensure validity of their visa, at least 6 months beyond protracted end of their visit and that their passports have plenty of blank pages to accommodate the immigration stamps. This info can be sourced by travelers from the Embassy of Kenya in the various countries.

Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for travelers to Kenya. Vaccination should be given 10 days before travel. Evidence of the yellow fever immunization may be requested on your arrival at the airport. Apart from Yellow fever, it is prudent to be up-to-date with routine inoculations such as, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, polio virus vaccine.

A prescribed anti malarial drug as well as protection against mosquito bites by using nets that have been treated with insecticides(especially in game parks) at altitudes below 2,500m. It should be duly noted however that chloroquine is not considered to be an effective antimalarial drug hence no need to take it as a preventive measure.

Several Western countries have travel advisories for their citizens traveling to Kenya. In as much as I do not want to categorize travel advisories as those, ‘park at your own risk’ notices, the decision to visit Kenya remains solely the visitor’s. Kenya experienced turmoil in early January due to the disputed December 2007 elections. But even at that difficult time, the tourist sites and hotels remained safe.

Hotels, lodges and park are relatively safe because it’s to the interest of the management in those locations to ensure security. The Kenya boarder with Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia are risky but this in not a major concern because they are far away from the tourist routes in Kenya.

The driving rule in Kenya is ‘keep left’, this could prove daunting especially to those who are not accustomed. Vehicle travel outside major cities at night should be avoided mainly due to poor lighting on the roads plus poor road conditions. Some roads become virtually impassible especially during the rainy season. Road jams are usually a norm during the mornings and evenings.

The use of plastic money i.e. credit cards or traveler cheques is advised. Major credit cards are accepted as a means of payment in hotels, lodges and shops. ATM machines are located in all major towns and are situated in secure and well lit places

It’s a rule of thumb to keep friends and family and even the embassy of the progress of your journey. Mobile phone companies offer a wide network though there are some regions that experience weak or no signal usually in the bush where some lodges and parks are situated. Cyber cafes are usually found in every major town, some public venues act as hotspots. This facilitates visitors to upload exciting pictures and videos of their travels in Kenya.
