Safety on Safari
Kenya’s world-famous safari destinations, including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Samburu, are safe and well-managed. These areas are designed to ensure both your safety and the protection of wildlife.
- Guided Experiences: All safaris are led by experienced guides who are familiar with the terrain, wildlife behavior, and safety protocols.
- Lodges and Camps: Safari lodges and camps prioritize guest safety with trained staff, secure accommodations, and measures to keep wildlife at a safe distance.
Urban Areas: Nairobi & Mombasa
While Nairobi and Mombasa are vibrant cities with much to offer, they require more caution than rural areas.
- Stay Alert: Like any major city, petty theft can happen. Keep your belongings secure and avoid walking alone at night.
- Choose Reputable Services: Use trusted transportation options and book accommodations in well-reviewed hotels or lodges.
Health & Travel Precautions
- Vaccinations: Ensure you’re up-to-date on routine vaccinations and check if yellow fever vaccination is required.
- Malaria Prevention: Kenya is in a malaria zone, so consult your doctor about preventive medication and pack insect repellent.
- COVID-19 Measures: Follow the latest guidelines for entry requirements and local health protocols.
Local Customs & Etiquette
Kenya is home to diverse cultures, including the Maasai and Samburu peoples. Respecting local customs enhances your experience:
- Ask Permission: Always ask before taking photos of people.
- Dress Modestly: In rural or cultural areas, modest clothing is appreciated.
