Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry seasons to avoid heavy rains. Pack layered clothing for variable temperatures, sturdy walking shoes, and sun protection. Respect local customs by dressing modestly and greeting people politely. Stay hydrated and use insect repellent to prevent mosquito bites. Carry some Kenyan shillings for small purchases, though cards are accepted in larger towns. Always keep valuables secure and avoid isolated areas after dark.
