Kenya and Tanzania have a diverse climatic range from extremely hot and dry regions to cold and wet areas. We have listed below an idea of the various altitudes and how you should dress while there.
In the mountain region ( 5000ft and above ), the temperatures are cooler. Add gloves, strong footwear, and heavy rain gear.
If you are in the coastal region, where the weather is very tropical and hot, wear comfortable loose cotton and some sun protection. This applies to Mombasa, Zanzibar, Seychelles, Mauritius and all coastal areas.
In the eastern region ( below 3000ft ), normally hot, dry and dusty, you are advised to carry a hat, cotton pants, and long-sleeved shirts. Also, carry sun protection.
While in the highland areas ( 3000 – 5000ft ), with a climate that ranges from cool/hot days and cold nights in addition to frequent rainfall, you are advised to add a sweater and rain jacket.

English is widely spoken and almost all destinations.
The main telecommunication modes are fairly reliable and include the internet, mobile/cellphone communication, direct landline telephone, and telephone booths, just to name but a few. The most reliable is the mobile phone, which is widely used and cheap to buy. Internet communication is also largely available in most major towns and cities and is quite efficient in addition to being cheap.

We use both safari tour vans and four-wheel drive Landcruisers. The tour vans are just as comfortable while being a little cheaper. Landcruisers are useful for locations which may experience muddy roads if it rains. Both vehicles have game viewing roofs, radio calls and comfortable seats with seat belts. Everything is done to assure your comfort while traveling. Special cooler boxes for cold drinks are part of the standard equipment.

Wildlife by its very nature, including as it does carnivorous and powerful animals ranging from the Lion to the elephant, can be dangerous. However, virtually all reported incidents of injury due to wild animals happens when a human is on foot, closer than they should be to the animal. It should be pointed out that animals are usually acting defensively when they attack humans – so keep your distance, respect the animal’s space, and avoid being on foot where you should not be, especially without an experienced and professional guide, and you should be fine.

It should be pointed out that special care should be taken with female animals nurturing their young – these animals are easily provoked by what they perceive as a threat so as to protect their young. At certain camps and lodges, it is not uncommon for wildlife to wander through the property but the bigger animals only do so rarely and often at night, without the intention of harming people. However, most safari lodges and camps have armed guards for additional security.

Follow your field guide or tour leader’s guidelines strictly, never venture outside your camping site at night without your guide, and don’t feed the animals, however lovely they may seem!
