Entry basics
Check your own passport requirements through official sources before you pay for travel.
Plan with context
Build a Kenya trip
that has room to work.
Before you book, choose a Nairobi base, one major contrast—safari or coast—and the transfer days you can genuinely afford. The rest becomes easier.
Timing
Build your route around the season and the experience you want—not a generic “best time”.
Budget
Separate the cost of moving between places from what you want to do once you arrive.
On the ground
Sort your first-night address, connection and local transport before your flight lands.
