Start early for soft light
Morning drives deliver cooler temperatures and more active wildlife; be at the vehicle by first light to maximize sightings.
Bring cash for park fees and tips
Some park posts and local guides prefer cash (Kenyan shillings) for small purchases and tipping—ATMs are limited near parks.
Prepare for dust and sun
A neck gaiter and polarized sunglasses reduce dust and glare during long drives, and sunscreen is indispensable.
Respect vehicle rules on walks
Walking safaris are short and guided—follow your guide’s distance and quiet rules to avoid disturbing wildlife.
Binoculars (8x42)
Essential for scanning plains from a distance and picking out birds or predators under cover.
Light layers and a windproof jacket
Early mornings and evenings can be cool, while days are hot—layering keeps you comfortable.
Sturdy walking shoes
Needed for short guided walks and lodge paths that can be rocky or dusty.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Keeps you hydrated on drives and reduces plastic waste; some lodges refill bottles.
