Preparation

What is the situation regarding Malaria?

Malaria is a concern in some parts of Kenya. Mosquitoes carrying malaria are most active at night, so sleeping under a treated mosquito net is key. Using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants in the evening, and staying in accommodations with screened windows or air conditioning can help minimise your risk.

It’s wise to consult your doctor or a travel clinic well in advance for a prescription for preventive malaria medication.

What vaccinations do I need for my trip to Kenya?

Before your trip to Kenya, it's advisable to get vaccinated against Hepatitis A, and a yellow fever vaccination is mandatory if you’re arriving from or traveling through a country with a yellow fever risk. We advice to consult your doctor for the best advice.

What should I bring?

A few weeks before departure, you will receive a detailed packing list, carefully compiled by our experienced team. The packing list includes everything you need for your adventure, from clothing to equipment and useful extras.
