  • Return or Onward Ticket – Keep confirmation of your return or onward travel available, as immigration officials may request it.
  • Yellow Fever Certificate – Proof of Yellow Fever vaccination may be required when arriving from, or transiting for an extended period through, a country with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission.

 

For children: Each child must have the required travel authorisation and passport. Additional documentation may be required when travelling without one or both parents.

 

Entry requirements vary according to nationality and may change. Travellers should confirm the latest requirements through Kenya’s official eTA portal before departure.

To book this safari, click “Get a Free Quote” and complete the request form. Please make sure your details are correct, including your full name, email address, phone number, travel dates, and number of travelers, so our safari team can prepare the right proposal for you.

A 30% deposit is required to confirm your Kenya safari. If the itinerary includes domestic flights within Kenya, the full airfare may also be required at the time of booking and will be charged separately from the safari deposit.

 

Final Payment

The remaining safari balance is due 45 days before departure. For bookings made within 45 days of departure, full payment is required to confirm the booking, together with the cost of any included domestic flights.

 

All bookings are subject to Bush 2 City Adventure’s Booking Terms & Conditions.

 

Travel Insurance

All travelers are required to have adequate comprehensive travel and medical insurance for the entire trip, including coverage for medical expenses and repatriation. We also strongly recommend coverage for trip cancellation or interruption, emergency evacuation, and loss, theft, or damage of personal belongings. Travel insurance should be arranged independently by the traveler.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

International Flights

International flights are not included in your Kenya safari package and must be booked, paid for and managed directly by you. Unless otherwise stated in your confirmed itinerary, international flights should be arranged as follows:

 

Arrival: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Nairobi

Departure: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Nairobi

 

Bush 2 City Adventure can recommend suitable international flight options that coordinate with your safari itinerary. However, the final booking, payment and management of these flights remain your responsibility.

 

Before booking, please check your arrival and departure dates and times against the confirmed safari itinerary. You should also confirm passport and eTA requirements, transit conditions, connection times, airline check-in procedures and baggage allowances.

 

Bush 2 City Adventure is not responsible for international flight delays, cancellations, missed connections, schedule changes or other disruptions caused by third-party airlines.

 

Domestic Flights within Kenya

Where domestic flights are included in your safari, Bush 2 City Adventure will arrange and book them on your behalf. Confirmed flight details will be provided before departure.

 

Domestic safari flights often have strict baggage limits and usually require soft-sided luggage. Please follow the baggage instructions provided for each flight.

 

Flight schedules may change because of weather, operational requirements or circumstances beyond our control. If a flight is cancelled or significantly changed before travel, we will assist in arranging a suitable available alternative. Once travel has commenced, delays, cancellations and other disruptions remain subject to the operating airline’s conditions.

 

Important Travel Responsibility

Please ensure your international flights allow sufficient time for immigration, customs, baggage collection, airport transfers and onward connections. In Nairobi, domestic safari flights commonly depart from Wilson Airport, so a road transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and sufficient connecting time may be required.

 

If an independently booked international flight causes you to miss part of your safari or a domestic connection, any additional accommodation, transfers, meals, replacement flights or itinerary changes will be at the traveller’s expense.

 

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering flight delays, cancellations, missed connections, baggage and other unexpected travel disruptions.

Health & Medical Considerations

Travellers should be in reasonably good health for a Kenya safari. Some activities may involve walking, early starts, long drives and travel over rough or uneven terrain.

 

If you have a medical condition, limited mobility, allergies or other requirements that may affect your safari, please consult your doctor before travelling and inform Bush 2 City Adventure in advance.

 

Vaccinations & Malaria

A Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate may be required when arriving in Kenya from, or after an extended transit through, a country where Yellow Fever transmission is a risk.

 

Malaria is present in parts of Kenya. We recommend consulting your doctor or a qualified travel-health specialist about malaria prevention and any recommended vaccinations well before departure.

 

Medication, Diet & Insurance

Bring sufficient prescription medication for your entire journey and keep essential medication in your carry-on luggage. Medication should remain in its original labelled packaging, together with a copy of the prescription where appropriate.

 

Please inform us in advance of any dietary requirements, allergies, medical conditions or mobility needs so that suitable arrangements can be made where possible.

 

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel and medical insurance covering emergency treatment, evacuation and repatriation.

 

Health and vaccination requirements may change. Travellers are responsible for obtaining professional medical advice and confirming Kenya’s current health requirements before departure.

Recommended Safari Reading

Would you like to learn more about Kenya before your safari? These recommended books offer valuable insights into the country’s wildlife, landscapes, conservation, culture and safari heritage.

 

Our favourites include The Safari Companion by Richard D. Estes and The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals by Jonathan Kingdon for identifying and understanding the wildlife you may encounter. Out of Africa by Karen Blixen and Born Free by Joy Adamson offer memorable perspectives on Kenya’s history, landscapes and conservation legacy.

 

Reading is completely optional, but it is a wonderful way to prepare for your Kenya safari.

Weather

Kenya is truly a year-round destination, as the climate frequently features warm, bright days and cool, crisp nights. Daytime temperatures throughout the year typically range from 60 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, or 15.5 to 35 degrees Celsius; evening temperatures can be cooler, ranging from 50 to 60 F, or 10 to 15.5 C.

 

Late afternoon rains are customary. The rainy seasons are March through May (the “long rains”) and October through December (the “short rains”). During these times, rain occurs mostly in the late afternoon and is generally brief. The spring months are preferred by some for smaller crowds, verdant scenery, and delightful temperatures.

 

To read about current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website by clicking here.

What to Pack

Pack light, comfortable safari clothing in neutral colours, including lightweight shirts, long trousers and comfortable walking shoes. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent, together with a light jacket or fleece for cooler early-morning and evening game drives. A lightweight waterproof jacket is also recommended.

 

Useful safari essentials include binoculars, a camera, spare batteries or charging equipment, a reusable water bottle, personal medication and essential travel documents. A small flashlight or headlamp may also be helpful at safari camps and lodges.

 

Keep your passport, valuables, essential medication and important travel documents in your carry-on luggage.

 

As this itinerary includes domestic flights in small safari aircraft, please pack light and use soft-sided luggage. Strict baggage weight and size limits may apply, so follow the baggage instructions provided with your confirmed flight details.

The remaining safari balance is due 45 days before departure. For bookings made within 45 days of departure, full payment is required to confirm the booking, together with the cost of any included domestic flights.

 

All bookings are subject to Bush 2 City Adventure’s Booking Terms & Conditions.

 

Travel Insurance

All travelers are required to have adequate comprehensive travel and medical insurance for the entire trip, including coverage for medical expenses and repatriation. We also strongly recommend coverage for trip cancellation or interruption, emergency evacuation, and loss, theft, or damage of personal belongings. Travel insurance should be arranged independently by the traveler.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

International Flights

International flights are not included in your Kenya safari package and must be booked, paid for and managed directly by you. Unless otherwise stated in your confirmed itinerary, international flights should be arranged as follows:

 

Arrival: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Nairobi

Departure: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Nairobi

 

Bush 2 City Adventure can recommend suitable international flight options that coordinate with your safari itinerary. However, the final booking, payment and management of these flights remain your responsibility.

 

Before booking, please check your arrival and departure dates and times against the confirmed safari itinerary. You should also confirm passport and eTA requirements, transit conditions, connection times, airline check-in procedures and baggage allowances.

 

Bush 2 City Adventure is not responsible for international flight delays, cancellations, missed connections, schedule changes or other disruptions caused by third-party airlines.

 

Domestic Flights within Kenya

Where domestic flights are included in your safari, Bush 2 City Adventure will arrange and book them on your behalf. Confirmed flight details will be provided before departure.

 

Domestic safari flights often have strict baggage limits and usually require soft-sided luggage. Please follow the baggage instructions provided for each flight.

 

Flight schedules may change because of weather, operational requirements or circumstances beyond our control. If a flight is cancelled or significantly changed before travel, we will assist in arranging a suitable available alternative. Once travel has commenced, delays, cancellations and other disruptions remain subject to the operating airline’s conditions.

 

Important Travel Responsibility

Please ensure your international flights allow sufficient time for immigration, customs, baggage collection, airport transfers and onward connections. In Nairobi, domestic safari flights commonly depart from Wilson Airport, so a road transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and sufficient connecting time may be required.

 

If an independently booked international flight causes you to miss part of your safari or a domestic connection, any additional accommodation, transfers, meals, replacement flights or itinerary changes will be at the traveller’s expense.

 

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering flight delays, cancellations, missed connections, baggage and other unexpected travel disruptions.

Health & Medical Considerations

Travellers should be in reasonably good health for a Kenya safari. Some activities may involve walking, early starts, long drives and travel over rough or uneven terrain.

 

If you have a medical condition, limited mobility, allergies or other requirements that may affect your safari, please consult your doctor before travelling and inform Bush 2 City Adventure in advance.

 

Vaccinations & Malaria

A Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate may be required when arriving in Kenya from, or after an extended transit through, a country where Yellow Fever transmission is a risk.

 

Malaria is present in parts of Kenya. We recommend consulting your doctor or a qualified travel-health specialist about malaria prevention and any recommended vaccinations well before departure.

 

Medication, Diet & Insurance

Bring sufficient prescription medication for your entire journey and keep essential medication in your carry-on luggage. Medication should remain in its original labelled packaging, together with a copy of the prescription where appropriate.

 

Please inform us in advance of any dietary requirements, allergies, medical conditions or mobility needs so that suitable arrangements can be made where possible.

 

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel and medical insurance covering emergency treatment, evacuation and repatriation.

 

Health and vaccination requirements may change. Travellers are responsible for obtaining professional medical advice and confirming Kenya’s current health requirements before departure.

Recommended Safari Reading

Would you like to learn more about Kenya before your safari? These recommended books offer valuable insights into the country’s wildlife, landscapes, conservation, culture and safari heritage.

 

Our favourites include The Safari Companion by Richard D. Estes and The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals by Jonathan Kingdon for identifying and understanding the wildlife you may encounter. Out of Africa by Karen Blixen and Born Free by Joy Adamson offer memorable perspectives on Kenya’s history, landscapes and conservation legacy.

 

Reading is completely optional, but it is a wonderful way to prepare for your Kenya safari.

Weather

Kenya is truly a year-round destination, as the climate frequently features warm, bright days and cool, crisp nights. Daytime temperatures throughout the year typically range from 60 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, or 15.5 to 35 degrees Celsius; evening temperatures can be cooler, ranging from 50 to 60 F, or 10 to 15.5 C.

 

Late afternoon rains are customary. The rainy seasons are March through May (the “long rains”) and October through December (the “short rains”). During these times, rain occurs mostly in the late afternoon and is generally brief. The spring months are preferred by some for smaller crowds, verdant scenery, and delightful temperatures.

What to Pack

Pack light, comfortable safari clothing in neutral colours, including lightweight shirts, long trousers and comfortable walking shoes. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent, together with a light jacket or fleece for cooler early-morning and evening game drives. A lightweight waterproof jacket is also recommended.

 

Useful safari essentials include binoculars, a camera, spare batteries or charging equipment, a reusable water bottle, personal medication and essential travel documents. A small flashlight or headlamp may also be helpful at safari camps and lodges.

 

Keep your passport, valuables, essential medication and important travel documents in your carry-on luggage.

 

As this itinerary includes domestic flights in small safari aircraft, please pack light and use soft-sided luggage. Strict baggage weight and size limits may apply, so follow the baggage instructions provided with your confirmed flight details.
