Visitors should be in good health. Please contact your family doctor well in advance of your departure for information regarding immunization and personal travel requirements.
Because of Kenya’s proximity to the equator, you can sunburn very quickly. While on safari, you are assured the services of emergency medical evacuation to Nairobi, which has been designed to bring first-rate medical care by superbly qualified personnel to outlying areas.
In order for you to stay healthy throughout your Kenya tour, we recommend the following:
- Drink bottled water. Refrain from drinking tap water, including when brushing teeth.
- Avoid eating fresh fruits and vegetables unless they are cooked or washed in clean water and peeled.
- Bring a small first aid kit, including antacids, anti-diarrhea medication and any prescription medications
More information on vaccinations and other health precautions can be found via the CDC website.
