Photography
Film is available at most game lodges, even in remote areas, but stocks are
usually small and of the common sizes and brands. Nairobi and Mombasa have
supplies of the most normal types of film. For game and bird photography a
telephoto lens of 200-300mm is strongly recommended. Twin lenses reflex
cameras are generally impractical. It is wise to equip yourself with plenty
of batteries, ultra-violet filter and lenses hood as these are seldom
available when on Safari.
Visitors are advised that it is an offence to photograph Kenya's head of
state, military installations, policemen in uniforms, etc. As a general rule
elsewhere, visitors are strongly advised to seek permission before taking
any photographs. |

Accomodations
Whenever possible we book rooms with private bathrooms on the basis of two
persons sharing a double room. Single rooms are available at supplementary
cost but neither single room nor rooms with private bath can be guaranteed
especially within the national parks and game reserves. Hotels and Camps,
where mentioned, are named as an indication of category and rooms may be
reserved at similar hotels. |
|
|
Security
In keeping with many tourist centres worldwide, visitors are advised not to
leave any valuables in their hotel room when they go out, but to make use of
the safe deposit boxes which are available at most hotels and lodges. As in
all major cities, it is advisable to avoid back streets at night (especially
alone); in fact is it much safer to avoid night walking altogether and use
taxis or self-drive hire cars instead. Kenya has an excellent police force
and most hotels have experienced security personnel and caring doormen. |

Visa And
Passport
A valid passport is required for all foreigners entering Kenya, Tanzania and
Uganda. Visa requirements vary according too country of origin. Most
nationality however, require visa to enter Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We
advise that you check with the nearest Consulate of Kenya, Tanzania or
Uganda, if traveling to the respective country. Visa can be processed at the
airports upon arrival but this can be very slow. We therefore advise clients
to purchase them from their countries of origin before traveling. |
|
|
Vaccinations
A yellow fever and Cholera vaccination certificate is required in Kenya if
visitors are arriving from a country where these diseases are present.
Yellow fever certificate is required in Tanzania regardless of country of
origin. We advise that all clients seek advice from their doctors when
planning to travel. Malaria prophylaxis is recommended.
Currency
Kenyan currency is based on the decimal system. The unit of currency is the
Shilling divided into 100 cents. Visitors are advised to check currency
exchange rates regularly. Banks give slightly better rates of exchange than
hotels. It is a serious offense to deface or knowingly damage Kenyan
currency. Visitors are strongly advised to avoid street dealers and to
transact all currency dealings through official dealers.
Banking
Nairobi, Mombasa and most other principal centers in Kenya have banks with
Bureau de Change. Banking hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Friday,
though some open between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the first and last Saturday
of each month. Banks at Jomo Kenyatta and Moi International Airports operate
a 24-hour service. |
