Travel information
Language
English is spoken by the guide during the trip. On request, we can arrange for guides who speak other languages. The journey is always accompanied by a certified guide/driver for optimal knowledge, information, and individual attention.
Visa
For travel to Kenya, you must possess a valid Dutch passport which is valid for at least 6 months upon departure from Kenya, and a visa.
The E-visa for Kenya can be applied for online via this link; etakenya.go.ke A visa valid for 90 days costs US$ 30–35 per person (subject to change). Apply for the eTA at least 7 days before departure via the official government website.

Time difference
The time difference is 1 hour in the summer months, and 2 hours in the winter months.
Banks and finance
With the exception of Nairobi (from 09:00 to 15:00) and Jomo Kenyatta Airport (24 hours a day), banks in Kenya are generally only open on weekday mornings.
All major hotels and most lodges are licensed to exchange foreign currency and travellers' cheques. In Nairobi there are several cash machines (but please note that these do not always work).
Travellers cheques in US dollars and credit cards (VISA, Mastercard and Barclay) are widely accepted. American Express is not accepted.
Cash only in clean, undamaged US dollars in small denominations. The local currency is the Kenyan shilling.
Health and Safety
The sun in Kenya is warmer and more intense than you can imagine. Even on a cloudy day, you can still get badly burnt. Therefore, a good sunscreen (at least factor 30) is essential, as is a good sun hat and sunglasses.
Drink plenty, but never from the tap; it's better to buy bottled water. Most hotels and lodges will provide drinking water in your room.
Hospitals and healthcare
If you have visited a country where yellow fever is prevalent before your visit to Kenya, vaccination against it is compulsory. There are small field hospitals dotted around Kenya.
Larger hospitals are only found in Nairobi and Mombasa. It is therefore also important to inquire about recommended vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis well in advance of your departure.
It is also wise to put together a small travel first-aid kit with Imodium for diarrhoea, ORS, etc. (also check out www.gezondheidsnet.nl/reisapotheek).
The Flying Doctors Society of Africa offers temporary membership for tourists for a small fee. In return, “members” receive free air transport to a hospital or medical centre in the event of a serious accident or severe illness while on safari.
Malaria
The best way to prevent malaria is to avoid being bitten. During dusk and dawn, wear long trousers and long-sleeved shirts, and use DEET on your ankles, hands, and neck.
In addition, it is highly recommended to take good malaria prophylaxis. Please consult your GGD for more information.
Photography
In Kenya, it is prohibited to take photographs of the President, police, military personnel, prisons, and airports. If you wish to take photographs of the local population, it is advisable to ask for permission beforehand.
For you, it may be a cherished holiday memory, but many Kenyan residents are superstitious and do not want you to take their photo.
Keep your camera in a dust-free bag or container.
Transport
Transport during the trip is by 4x4 safari Landcruiser. Comfortable travel and excellent for game drives. If two people are booked on the relevant travel date, another, smaller type of car may be used.
Travel – Cancellation Insurance
Taking out travel insurance is mandatory. Taking out cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. Unfortunately, AfrikaOnline cannot arrange insurance. We would be happy to refer you to, for example, the ANWB.
We kindly request that you provide us with the name of the insurer and the policy numbers of both insurances by email to AfrikaOnline as soon as possible and well before your departure.
Participation
This trip is also suitable for children, and although the distances between the different parks can sometimes be quite long,
Is there enough time to stop along the way and are there interesting things to see en route?.
To make the most of this trip, we recommend not travelling with children under 8 years old (with exceptions).
However, there must be at least 1 adult accompanying each child under 18 years old.
Medical conditions:
Anyone in good health may participate in this trip.
