Visa and Health
Regulation
Visa requirements vary from time to time and should be
checked with nearest tourist office of diplomatic
mission. Health certificates are required but these vary
with country of origin and should be checked with
relevant authorities. Yellow fever and cholera
vaccinations are recommended. Anti malaria medication
should be started prior to arrival.
Photography
Films and batteries are available at most lodges but in
restricted stocks and sizes so it is suggested you bring
your own supply. A 200 mm to 300 mm telephoto lens is
recommended for game and bird photography.
Climate
Much of East Africa is generally warm, minimal humidity
and cool evenings. Temperatures vary with altitude.
Clothing
Cotton, linen dresses, light slacks and short sleeved
shirts are recommended. Bring a warm sweater, as nights
can be chilly at high altitudes. Comfortable walking
shoes, swim suit, sun glasses, suntan lotion, flashlight
and an alarm clock will complement your safari gear.

Check out time is usually 1000 hours. Hence check in

reserved from night before. Day rooms up to 1800 hours
are usually available.
