The Big Five is prolific in Kenya, so sighting the famous wildlife will make your safari experience even more unforgettable.

There are mandatory injections such as yellow fever and malaria injections.

You will need a visa.

Local languages include Swahili and English.

Respect the local culture but be prepared for a very friendly welcome from locals.

​The best time to visit Kenya will depend on what you aim to see and do during your visit. The best time to visit for the great wildebeest migration is from July to October, or in the hotter summer months. Try and avoid the rains from March to May.
