  • EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PLANNING YOUR TRIP TO KENYA

    Essential Travel Tips for Visiting Kenya

    Traveling to Kenya offers an unforgettable blend of adventure, wildlife, and culture—especially for those planning a safari. To make the most of your journey, a little preparation goes a long way. From health precautions to cultural etiquette, here’s what you need to know before and during your trip.

    ✈️ Before You Go

    Visa and Passport:
    Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay. All visitors must apply for Kenya’s Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) online before departure.

    Vaccinations:
    Consult your healthcare provider about recommended vaccinations. A yellow fever certificate may be required for entry.

    Health Precautions:
    Pack insect repellent and consult your doctor about malaria medication, as the risk is present in many regions.

    Travel Insurance:
    Secure comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, cancellations, and theft.

    🎒 Packing Essentials

    Clothing:
    Bring light, breathable clothing for warm days, and long sleeves/pants for evenings and insect protection. Layering is key if visiting high-altitude areas.

    Footwear:
    Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots are a must for safaris and exploring nature reserves.

    Sun Protection:
    Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-protective sunglasses are essential under the African sun.

    First-Aid Kit:
    Include antiseptic wipes, plasters, painkillers, and any personal medications.

    Extras:

    • Binoculars for game viewing

    • Reusable water bottle

    • Universal adapter for electronics

    🌍 During Your Stay

    Respect Local Customs:
    Dress modestly, especially in urban and rural communities. Cover shoulders and knees when visiting religious or cultural sites.

    Photography:
    Always ask for permission before photographing individuals, particularly in rural areas.

    Bargaining:
    Haggling is part of the shopping experience in markets—approach it respectfully.

    Water Safety:
    Stick to bottled or purified water to avoid illnesses.

    Food Safety:
    Opt for well-cooked meals, and avoid raw or undercooked food, especially from street vendors.

    Safety Tips:
    Stay alert in busy areas, avoid walking alone at night, and keep valuables secure to prevent petty theft.

    Transportation:
    Use licensed taxis or reputable tour operators for safe travel.

    Currency:
    The Kenyan Shilling (KES) is the local currency. Major hotels accept cards, but carry cash for smaller vendors and tipping.

    Learn a Little Swahili:
    Polite greetings go a long way. Try "Jambo" (hello) and "Mambo" (hi) to connect warmly with locals.

    Is Kenya a Malaria Risk Area?

    Yes, Kenya is considered a malaria-endemic country. While some regions—like Nairobi and high-altitude areas—pose a lower risk, the majority of the country, including major safari parks and coastal destinations, presents a moderate to high risk of malaria transmission. Travelers are strongly advised to consult with a medical professional regarding antimalarial medication and take appropriate preventive steps before departure.

    🩺 Important Malaria Risk & Prevention Information

    🔴 High-Risk Zones:

    • Coastal areas, regions near Lake Victoria, and most low-altitude zones are considered high-risk for malaria.

    🟡 Nairobi:

    • The capital city has a lower incidence of malaria than rural and coastal areas but is not completely risk-free.

    ⛰️ Altitude Matters:

    • Locations situated above 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) generally carry minimal risk.

    👨‍⚕️ Consult Early:

    • Speak with your doctor or a travel health clinic 4–6 weeks before travel for guidance on suitable antimalarial medications and vaccines.

    🛡️ Preventive Practices:

    • Use insect repellent with DEET or picaridin

    • Wear long-sleeved clothing in the evenings

    • Sleep under mosquito nets (especially in rural accommodations)

    ⚠️ Watch for Symptoms:

    • If you experience fever, chills, or flu-like symptoms during or after your trip, seek immediate medical care as malaria can be life-threatening if untreated.

Key things to consider include visa requirements, health precautions (especially regarding malaria and other insect-borne diseases), currency (South African Rand), safety tips (particularly in tourist areas), and the need for a valid driver's license and potentially an international driving permit if you plan to drive.

Useful Traveler Information - Tanzania

Tanzania traveler info and Tourist Visa

  • INTERNATIONAL TOURIST VISA APPLICATION GUIDELINES & INFORMATION

    APPLY FOR TOURIST VISA

    The United Republic of Tanzania Ministry of Home Affairs

  • For international tourists visiting Tanzania, the most suitable airports are Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) near Arusha. DAR is the main entry point for those visiting the southern and coastal regions, while JRO is ideal for those heading to the northern safari circuit, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, and other parks. Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ), also known as Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, is the primary airport for those visiting Zanzibar for beach vacations. 

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    1. Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), Dar es Salaam:

    • Best for:

      Southern and coastal Tanzania, including Dar es Salaam city, Ruaha National Park, Mikumi National Park, and the southern beaches.

    • Connections:

      From DAR, you can easily connect to domestic flights to other parts of the country, including Arusha and Zanzibar. 

    2. Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), near Arusha:

    • Best for:

      Northern Tanzania, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. 

    • Connections:

      JRO is well-connected to Arusha, which serves as a base for safari operations. 

    3. Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ), Zanzibar:

    • Best for: Zanzibar's beaches and island life. 

    • Connections: ZNZ offers connections to other Tanzanian destinations, including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. 

    4. Arusha Airport (ARK), Arusha:

    • While Arusha Airport is a domestic airport, it's a good option for those already in Tanzania and wanting to fly to other destinations within the country. 

    In summary:

    • If you're visiting the southern or coastal areas of Tanzania, fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR). 

    • If you're planning a safari in the north or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). 

    • If your focus is Zanzibar, fly into Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ).

    When planning a trip to Tanzania, ensure your passport has at least six months of validity and apply for a visa, which can be obtained online or sometimes upon arrival at major entry points. Travel insurance, including inbound insurance for Zanzibar, is recommended, and proof of yellow fever vaccination may be required. Be aware that tap water is not safe to drink, so rely on bottled mineral water. Pack light, practical clothing, and be mindful of conservative dress in Zanzibar and coastal areas. Learn a few basic Swahili phrases, and be prepared for potential touts at bus stations. 

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    Before You Go:

    • Visa and Passport: Secure a visa, either online or potentially upon arrival, and ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. 

    • Vaccinations: Check if yellow fever vaccination is required based on your travel route. 

    • Travel Insurance: Obtain comprehensive travel insurance, including coverage for Zanzibar. 

    • Currency: The Tanzanian shilling (TSH) is the local currency 

    • Packing: Pack light, neutral-colored clothing, a warm jacket for evenings, and be prepared to dress modestly in Zanzibar. 

    • eSIM: Consider purchasing an e-SIM card for convenient and affordable local data access. 

    During Your Trip:

    • Safety: Be cautious around the coast due to potential pirate activity, and exercise caution at bus stations. 

    • Water: Avoid drinking tap water; rely on bottled mineral water. 

    • Respect: Dress respectfully in conservative areas, particularly in Zanzibar and coastal regions. 

    • Photography: Always ask permission before taking photos of people. 

    • Tipping: A 10% tip is customary in restaurants and bars when a service charge isn't included. 

    • Language: While English is widely spoken, learning a few Swahili phrases can enhance your experience. 

    • Children: Be aware of age restrictions for certain activities like safaris and bush walks. 

    • Money: Inform your bank of your travel plans to prevent any issues with card usage and be cautious when using ATMs. 

    Malaria is a risk throughout Tanzania, including urban areas, with higher transmission during the rainy season from November to May. While generally a high-risk area, certain high-altitude regions (above 1,800m or 5,900ft) have lower transmission, and some safari parks are also considered high-risk. 

    Detailed Breakdown:

    • High-Risk Areas:

      Most of Tanzania, including both mainland and Zanzibar, is considered a high-risk area for malaria. 

    • High-Altitude Areas:

      High-altitude areas above 1,800m (5,900 ft), like parts of the Eastern Arc Mountains and the Ngorongoro Crater rim, have lower malaria risk. 

    • Rainy Season:

      The risk of malaria transmission is higher during the rainy seasons, typically from November through May. 

    • Urban Areas:

      Even urban areas like Dar es Salaam are considered to have a moderate to high risk of malaria. 

    • Zanzibar:

      Zanzibar also experiences perennial malaria transmission with peaks during the March-June and October-November rainy seasons. 

    • Specific Regions:

      Certain regions, like the Western Zone (Tabora, Kigoma), Northern Zone (Kilimanjaro, Tanga, Arusha), and Southern Highlands (Iringa, Njombe, Ruvuma), have varying degrees of malaria risk. 

    Recommendations:

    • Chemoprophylaxis:

      Consult a doctor for malaria prophylaxis recommendations (medications to prevent malaria) before traveling to Tanzania, especially for areas below 1,800m.

    • Insect Precautions:

      Take precautions against mosquito bites, especially during the evening and nighttime, by using insect repellent and sleeping under mosquito nets.

    • Tisha B’Av (Fast of the Ninth of Av): 9 Av
