    For road safaris, standard luggage is accepted. We recommend packing light and using soft-sided bags for easier handling.

    12. Is the safari private or shared?

    Both options are available. You can choose a private safari with your own vehicle and guide or join a scheduled group departure.

    13. Can I add a beach holiday after the safari?

    Yes. Many travellers extend their trip with a beach holiday in Diani, Mombasa, Watamu or Zanzibar.

    14. Will I see Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli?

    On clear mornings and evenings, Amboseli offers some of the best views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Visibility depends on weather conditions.

    15. Is travel insurance required?

    Travel insurance is not included but is highly recommended. Comprehensive coverage should include medical expenses, trip cancellation and personal belongings.

    16. Can I book a hot air balloon safari?

    Yes. A hot air balloon safari in the Maasai Mara can be added to your itinerary and includes a bush breakfast after landing.

    17. What should I wear on safari?

    Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing in neutral colors such as khaki, beige, olive green or brown. A light jacket is recommended for early morning game drives.

    18. How far in advance should I book?

    For travel during the peak season (July–October and December–January), booking 6–12 months in advance is recommended to secure the best accommodations and rates.

    19. Is Wi-Fi available during the safari?

    Most lodges and camps offer Wi-Fi in public areas, though speeds may vary depending on location.

    20. Why choose this safari?

    This itinerary combines three of Kenya’s most iconic destinations—Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara—offering exceptional wildlife viewing, diverse landscapes, cultural experiences and excellent value within just six days.

    What not to do during your safari?

    • Do not leave the vehicle unless instructed by your guide.
    • Never feed, touch or approach wildlife.
    • Avoid loud noises and sudden movements around animals.
    • Do not use flash photography during wildlife sightings.
    • Do not litter or remove natural items from the parks.
    • Respect local communities and ask permission before taking photos of people.
    • Follow your guide's instructions at all times.
    • Keep noise levels low during game drives.
    • Avoid bright-colored and camouflage clothing.
    • Do not carry unnecessary valuables.
