Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry seasons to avoid heavy rains. Pack layered clothing for cool mornings and evenings, sturdy shoes for outdoor activities, 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 many places. Always keep an eye on belongings and avoid walking alone at night.
