Packing List for a Kenya Holiday

What to Pack for a Safari Holiday in Kenya

  • Your clothing choices should prioritise comfort and, as far as possible, be neutral in colour.
  • Mornings and evenings can be chilly, so pack a sweater or two as well as a light rain jacket just in case.
  • For sun protection, bring SPF, sunglasses, and a hat that covers your ears and the back of your neck.
  • For insect protection, insect repellent sprays and creams are advised.
  • Closed, sturdy walking shoes are needed for game walks, and pack a pair of lightweight shoes or flip-flops for relaxing at your lodge.
  • To carry your necessities while on game drives and nature walks, bring a day pack. In it, pack a pair of binoculars – they can really enhance your experience.
  • Don’t forget chargers for your devices – Kenya uses Type G electrical outlets, which are the same as those used in the United Kingdom. These outlets have three rectangular prongs arranged in a triangular pattern.

What to Pack for a Beach Holiday in Kenya

  • Lightweight, breathable clothing is a must for dressing for the tropical weather of the islands. Bring a lightweight rain jacket, too, just in case.
  • Pack several swimsuits for days spent relaxing next to the resort pool and on the beach. Also, a spacious beach bag for your essentials (like snorkelling gear and a book).
  • A high-SPF sunscreen is a must to protect your skin, and insect repellent is also advised. Pack sunglasses and a sun hat, too.
  • While you’ll probably spend a lot of time in sandals and flip-flops, pack a pair of walking shoes for days spent exploring.
  • To protect your phone and camera from water and sand, add waterproof bags to your checklist.
