Rules in force · 7After dark, take a hotel-booked or ride-hailing car door …
  • Kenya ↗Check entry requirements and any electronic travel authorisation for your passport on the official Kenyan government portal before booking; rules have changed in recent years.
  • Kenya ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route, including transits.
  • Kenya ↗Plastic carrier bags are banned; leave shop and duty-free plastic bags behind before you fly in.
  • Kenya ↗Light aircraft to the parks have strict baggage limits, usually soft-sided bags only and a low total weight (often around 15 kg); confirm the limit with your operator and leave a hard case in Nairobi.
  • Nairobi area ↗Safari flights leave from Wilson Airport, not Jomo Kenyatta International: confirm which airport your ticket uses and allow for the ride between them.
  • Nairobi ↗After dark, take a hotel-booked or ride-hailing car door to door; do not walk between clusters or with a phone in your hand.
  • Nairobi ↗Rush hours (roughly 06:30–09:30 and 16:30–20:00) can double any ride: plan one cluster per half-day and never a tight connection.
