Safety & Security - Kenya Travel Guide

Here are a few things you should consider when in Kenya, but before that, here are our top Nairobi Safari Packages.

1. Always Stay in the Van

It is common for tourists to want to take a better picture of the animals in the wild, often stepping out of the safari car and getting dangerously close to the animal. For your safety, avoid this and stay in the van.

Stick with the group during mobile camping and listen and adhere to your guide’s instructions. Also, avoid venturing into the wild at night – you never know who you might find looking for food in the dark.

Wild animals (lions, cheetahs, leopards, primates, snakes, elephants and such), may look cute and harmless, but just a single encounter with them can result in death. Don’t worry about taking a better picture and if you really want to take clear photos, get a better camera or a drone camera.

2. Be Adequately Prepared Against Insects

It is commonplace for tourists to develop one sickness or the other during their safari tours in Kenya. Prevent this from happening by taking adequate precautions against

Insect repellents and sleeping nets are two of the most effective methods to keep disease vectors away. It is also important to update your vaccination and ensure that every necessary precaution is taken before a safari tour to Kenya.

3. Obey Your Kenyan Tour Guide

During a Kenya tour, it is important to go with a guide who is conversant with the terrain. You should have a guard who understands when the environment is no longer safe and can guide you to safety.

Also, make sure you obey your guide and stick to his instructions. Disobeying or neglecting a guide’s instructions usually result in bad situations and should be avoided.

4. Be Wary of the Dangers

Of course, there is a lot of fun and thrills during safari tours in Kenya, but you should not be ignorant of the associated dangers. It could be really thrilling to sleep close to a pride and to watch the elephants walk in their group, but take precautions to make sure you aren’t cannibalized by these animals.

Remember, they are wild animals and can act wildly, so make sure you go with skilled tour operators.

5. Keep Your Tents Secured

Always make sure you avoid walking in the night. Most of the wild animals have awesome eyesight at night and this could be dangerous for you. Zip your tents whenever you are inside and even when you are out, and make sure that you do not have food in the tent.

Where to Go during Safari Tours to Kenya

There are several places to visit during safari tours to Kenya but perhaps the most popular place is the Masai Mara National Reserve. 

This Reserve allows you to come really close to frightening lions, cheetahs, elephants and other wild animals, and if you visit this reserve between July and October, you will witness the awesome migration of wildebeests.

You can also relish your tour by visiting several other Kenya reserves and parks such as Samburu, Meru and the Lake Nakuru National Park. To catch a glimpse of the African wonders, it is best to visit between June and October.

What to Wear During a Kenya Tour

Selecting Kenya Safari wares may seem unimportant, but believe me, your wares are important and could determine how great your tour will be. It is advisable to churn white colored clothes and generally, you should not wear bright colored clothes.

You can go for clothes that will blend with the safari environment. Khakis and animal-friendly greens are most suitable.Also, choose colors that would not attract insects when choosing clothes for the tour.

Blue and black colors attract tsetse flies and therefore should be avoided. Consider the season you are traveling to Kenya to determine your choice of clothes.

For instance, you should be aware that the American mid-summer corresponds to African winter or Harmattan, so make sure you go along with warm clothes during these months.
