When is the best time to go on safari?;
Anytime of the year is safari rime. However, the most popular seasons are mid December to mid March and July to mid September. This is because of the demand for Christmas holidays and winter breaks. The rest of the months are also ideal owing to low visitor numbers and off peak rates from the airlines Rideon agencies offers safaris with lower rates in the months of Aprils and May which is the low season.
Where can I stay while on safari?
We have different types of accommodation ranging from basic tents, luxury tented camps hotels, guesthouses and lodges. These are all made to suit every desire and match any budget.
What Insurance Should I Have?
We strongly recommend medical insurance, which includes a cover for evacuation. This can be arranged from here in Kenya or from your country of origin. Nairobi has two first-rate hospitals with excellent emergency facilities. Travel insurance covering loss of baggage, third party liability, cancellation and curtailment, etc. is also recommended.
What Money Should I Bring?
Travelers' cheques and major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and, to a lesser extent, American Express) are generally accepted in Kenya . A small quantity of US dollars cash, preferably, is useful. We recommend that visitors carry only a little cash. Only authorized dealers and banks are allowed to change currency. It is worth changing money at the banks or forex bureaus on arrival at international airports or in the major towns, where the rate of exchange is more favorable than those offered at lodges and hotels.
