Some things to note

Luggage Information

Please Note: 

• Both Kenya and Tanzania have enforced a total ban on single-use plastic bags. This includes garbage bags, carrier bags and shopping bags. Zip-lock bags that a lot of airlines require passengers to place their liquids within are okay to use and carry, however, in line with their environmental intentions, we recommend you take them with you when you depart. Please ensure that before you either board a flight to Kenya and/or Tanzania, or arrive at a border entry point, that you have disposed of any plastic bags that may be within your checked or hand luggage. Failure to do so may result in a penalty. 
• Whilst on safari, ensure you wear layers, it can be quite cool in the early hours but can warm up as the sun rises. 
• Hot air balloon safaris will be done in lieu of the early morning game drive that is scheduled. 
• The walk within Lake Manyara forest is roughly 2 hours in duration and may be quite strenuous for some. It includes walking up steep walkways, down narrow paths and over un-even rocks. Although it is a rewarding and enjoyable experience, should you wish to not participate, please make your guide aware prior to the excursion. 
• If you’re looking to purchase Kenyan souvenirs, the gift shops within the lodges are very reasonably priced and offer a good range of products. Shops at rest stops can be more expensive and can often pressure sales.
• The bush dinner experience may be undertaken at breakfast, lunch or dinner and is dependent on the weather forecast for the day. The final decision will be made by your guide and the lodge locally. Regardless, all meal inclusions will remain the same.

Payment by cash is preferred as there are no guarantees that credit card facilities will be available. Please check with your Tour Director or guide locally for information relating to this.
