Things to note...
Safari Information
On our safaris there is a maximum of seven passengers per safari bus and the vehicle is specially designed so that you have the best possible view from each seat.
You will stay in excellent Safari Lodges which will be as specified or similar. Occasionally it may be necessary to accommodate guests in 'Tented Camps', which offer similar standards and facilities as the Safari Lodges.
We recommend that you take comfortable clothing and sensible shoes, binoculars and a good camera.
It may occasionally be necessary to amend itineraries due to adverse weather conditions.
Note: You may take only one piece of small luggage on safari, as there is insufficient room in safari vehicles to carry all luggage. If you choose to book a Mombasa beach stay at the end of your safari, any extra luggage must be in a locked suitcase that will be stored in Nairobi whilst you are on safari.
