Warm coastal humidity, cooler highlands around Nairobi, and dry heat on safari.

duringFlight

On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.

Mosquito protection

Dusk-to-dawn mosquito precautions are the norm. Long sleeves, repellent and treated nets are typically packed.

Sun & heat

Equatorial sun combined with open safari vehicles means sustained exposure. High SPF and a wide brim are practical.

foodWater

Bottled or treated water is standard. Heat and long game drives make electrolytes useful.

First aid

A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
