Kenya is best known for its incredible national parks, rich fauna, and culture, Kenya is East Africa’s tourism hotspot, but thinking to have an adventure in this magical nation you need to know things like when to visit? What is required to visit? and where exactly to visit? Here are the answers to the above questions. Enquire here to visit Kenya

Most travelers will require a visa to enter Kenya, which can be obtained on arrival for $50. You will need to have six months validity left on your passport and have two blank pages. Visa regulations can change though, so we recommend that you check the situation again two months before travel.

We advise you to have travel insurance. Though policies differ in terms of what they will cover, as a minimum, you need medical and health cover which will cover you for the whole time that you are away. Most policies will also include cancellation cover, which will cover you if an unforeseen circumstance obliges you to cancel your trip. We recommend that you obtain your insurance as soon as you book your trip.

MONEY, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.

The best times to visit this part of Kenya are from January to March, and June to October.
6. CULTURE – LANGUAGE AND RELIGION, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.
Kenya is home to an astonishing number of different ethnic groups, all of which hold their own belief systems and speak their own languages. However, English is widely spoken in towns as a second language and is the language of government. Kenya has a sizeable Christian population – the result of colonial interference and efforts from missionaries – but there are also Muslim minorities in the larger towns, and Islam is the dominant religion in the northeast of the country.

Nairobi is a cosmopolitan city with a multi-national population, and this is reflected in the cuisine – you can find Ethiopian, Italian, Indian and Chinese food here. Step outside of Nairobi though and it’s a different story. Typical food for the majority of people consists of rice and meat, perhaps with beans, and there is very little variation. Sometimes you’ll also find spaghetti, and ugali, a pounded starchy mass, is often on the menu. However, outside Nairobi meals can be provided and you can expect European-style cuisine, often with African specialties. You should advise us when you book if you have any special dietary requirements. We will try to accommodate you as much as possible, but we cannot always guarantee this.
8. LUGGAGE AND PACKING, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.
The first rule of packing is not to bring too much. There will be plenty of occasions where you’ll need to carry your luggage yourself and so you should be able to do this without help. Most people are surprised at how little they actually need to bring, and it’s normally possible to get laundry done along the way. It doesn’t matter whether you bring a suitcase, rucksack or holdall, but please don’t bring more than 20kg of luggage as this may be difficult to accommodate in the vehicles we use. You’ll also need a day pack. There are no special dress rules for Kenya, and it is almost always hot. You’ll be walking around villages when in Kenya, and probably rocky surfaces, so do consider this when selecting shoes or boots.
9. FITNESS, Magical Kenya Travel Advice, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.
You don’t need to be especially fit to join this trip, but there will be stairs to climb, hills to walk and sites to explore, so you’ll enjoy it more if you have a reasonable level of fitness.
10. RESPONSIBLE TOURISM, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.
In Kenya, like many of the destinations we offer, environmental thinking is not at the forefront of everyday life and you will see a lot of litter in places. However, we ask that you don’t contribute to this and to please take all litter back to the hotel where it can be disposed of properly, including cigarette butts. Especially in the larger cities, you may come across beggars.
There’s no hard and fast answer on this and everyone has a different view – some feel that giving simply encourages begging while others see it as helping someone in need. Some guidebooks will tell you that you should only give if you see a local person also giving, to determine whether the beggar is genuine. The issue is particularly difficult when it comes to children, but we’d ask that you don’t give to children as in poor communities this can often act as a discouragement to going to school.
If you feel that you’d like to contribute, then speak with your guide who will be able to make appropriate suggestions. Most people like to take photos, and it’s sometimes easy to forget that the photogenic person in front of you may not want their picture taken. Always ask if it’s okay on this, and respect their wishes if they say no. You’ll often find that in remote villages or among more traditional communities the older generation, and women, in particular, are not comfortable with having their picture taken. On the subject of photography, it’s often forbidden to take photos of ‘sensitive’ areas such as military buildings or border posts, and doing so can land you in trouble with the authorities. If you’re not sure, ask our guide.
11. TIPPING, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.
If you’re happy with the services of your guide and driver then we would recommend leaving a tip for them at the end of your trip. The amount is entirely up to you, but a reasonable amount to tip would be around $50-70 – however, it is not obligatory and if you do not wish to tip then this is up to you.
12. LOCAL CONDITION, Magical Kenya Travel Advice | Best Time For Kenya Tours | Kenya travel advice | Kenya travel season | Kenya travel advise | Magical Kenya | Magical Kenya tours | when to visit Kenya | Kenya tours | Kenya safaris | Kenya safari tours | Kenya tourist attractions | Visit Kenya | Kenya National Parks | Kenya wildlife Tour.
When traveling to some of the destinations we offer you need to bear in mind that things won’t always work here as we’re used to them working at home. Traveling in underdeveloped and untouristed destinations requires both patience and a sense of humor. There may be problems with infrastructure, attitudes may be different, and maintenance may not be as high a standard as we would always like, but this is very much part and parcel of traveling in such a place.
In addition, roads throughout the parts of Africa that we visit are often poorly maintained (if at all!) and distances between key sites of interest can belong. Traveling to these destinations can be tiring, hot, and dusty at times, and inevitably it can be frustrating. While there are some issues that we can solve, others are intrinsic to the countries that we travel through, and you should be aware that many of the countries that we operate in cannot be compared to others on the continent that have better infrastructure.
Although traveling in these countries can at times be an ‘unpolished’ experience, this is all part of the adventure. We aim to resolve any issues as quickly as possible and putting up with a pothole (or ten) is undeniably worth it for the amazing sights and cultural experiences you will encounter along the way.
