Travel Tips

Absolutely! Here are some travel tips for your trip to Nairobi, Nyeri, Kiambu, and Kericho in Kenya.

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Nile is during the dry months of June to September and January to February. The wildlife viewing is excellent during these months.

Route and Accessibility:
Nairobi has an International airport, so it can serve as your entry and exit point. From Nairobi, you can take a bus, or hire a car to reach Nyeri, Kiambu, and Kericho.

Altitude and Acclimatization:
The altitude in these cities varies from 1500 to 2400 meters above sea level. Give yourself a day or two in Nairobi to adjust to the altitude before proceeding to other places.

Accommodation and Booking:
It's best to book your accommodation in advance, particularly in Nairobi, which is a major tourist destination. The other cities offer a range of accommodations from luxury lodges to budget guesthouses.

Clothing and Essentials:
Pack lightweight clothing as temperatures tend to be high during the day. Also include a raincoat as sudden showers are common. Sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent are essential.

Health and Safety:
Ensure you're vaccinated for diseases like Typhoid and Hepatitis A and B. Also consider taking anti-malaria tablets. Stay hydrated, avoid street food, and only drink bottled or boiled water.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
The Kenyan people are known for their friendliness and hospitality. Greetings are important in Kenyan culture. When engaging with the locals, it's good etiquette to ask about their well-being and that of their family.

Remember to respect local traditions and customs and dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites.
