Know Before You Go

Weather Considerations: While Kenya generally enjoys warm weather, the climate can vary between the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Mornings and evenings can be chilly, especially during game drives. Rain is common during the long rainy season (April to June), so it’s recommended to pack layers and waterproof items.

Tipping Etiquette: Tipping is customary in Kenya, particularly for guides, drivers, and lodge staff. The recommended tip for guides is between $15-20 per day, and for lodge staff, it’s generally $5-10 per day. While tipping is not mandatory, it is greatly appreciated and goes a long way in supporting those who provide excellent service.

Safari Experience: The safari will be conducted in comfortable 4x4 safari jeeps with pop-up roofs for optimal viewing. Expect bumpy rides and sometimes rough terrain, so it’s advisable to bring along a good camera, binoculars, and patience to enhance your experience.

Leave No Trace: It’s essential to practice responsible tourism. Always leave no trace of your visit by avoiding littering, respecting wildlife and plants, and following the rules set by the guides and the parks to ensure a sustainable experience for future travelers.
