Start early for wildlife
Morning drives and walks increase sightings of mammals and birds and offer cooler temperatures for hiking.
Carry at least 1.5L water
Dry air at higher elevations and active walking mean you’ll need regular hydration—refillable bottles are best.
Wear stout, closed shoes
Forest trails and crater rims can be slippery or uneven; ankle support reduces risk of injury.
Keep distance from animals
Rangers know safe viewing distances—never approach or feed wildlife, and follow guide instructions at all times.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Grip and ankle support are useful on forest trails, crater rims and wet rocks near waterfalls.
Reusable water bottle (1.5L+)
Staying hydrated on walks and during game drives is essential in variable highland climate.
Binoculars
Improves bird and distant mammal viewing at Momella Lakes and on the plains.
Light waterproof jacket
Protects against sudden downpours during the long and short rainy seasons.
