Important Information

Road Conditions

The drive from Masai Mara to Nakuru and from Nakuru to Nairobi can be long especially due to traffic, but there are various stops to make it bearable.

I’m not going to sugarcoat anything… you should expect bumpy roads.

The roads inside Masai Mara National Park, Amboseli National Park, and around Lake Nakuru are rough, unpaved, and very bumpy.

When we traveled through Namibia, some roads were horrendous! That’s why I always carried a small lumbar pillow for back support. I highly recommend you do the same.

On your accessible Kenya safari, you will have an experienced driver who will navigate the roads as carefully as possible.

A bumpy, gravel road in Namibia. You should expect rough, bumpy and unpaved roads on our wheelchair accessible safari in Kenya.

➡️If road conditions are a concern, please ask before booking, and I’ll check with our tour operator for the latest updates.

Required Vaccines

To protect yourself and others, ensure you’re up to date on the following:

✔️Routine Vaccinations: Chickenpox, Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis, Flu, Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR), Polio, Shingles (if 50+) and COVID-19.

✔️ Recommended Vaccinations: Hepatitis A & B (TWINRIX Vaccine), Typhoid (consult your doctor) and Malaria prevention

👉You will be in a Malaria Zone, so speak with your doctor about the best options for you.

For the most current travel health recommendations, visit the CDC or the Government of Canada websites.

There is built in downtime between excursions to allow for rest and recovery.

What Are the Health Risks?

The biggest health risk on our accessible safari to Kenya is malaria. Malaria is present in many parts of Kenya, including popular safari destinations such as the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru.

It is strongly recommend to take malaria prophylaxis to reduce the risk of infection during your trip.

Please consult a healthcare professional or local Travel Clinic for advice on:

Malaria prevention
Any required or recommended vaccinations for Kenya

👉Yellow Fever vaccination may be required if you’re arriving from a country where Yellow Fever is endemic or if you’ve transited through such a country for more than 12 hours.

Do I Need Insurance? What Type?

While not legally required, comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended for your Kenya safari—especially coverage that includes:

Medical emergencies
Trip cancellations or delays
Overland travel
Emergency evacuation or medical repatriation

Lorna Safaris offers Emergency Evacuation coverage to all their clients. While you may be airlifted to a medical facility, any cost incurred for your medication is borne by the client.

Note: This tour package does not include travel insurance. It is strongly recommend that all participants arrange their own comprehensive travel insurance, including emergency medical and evacuation coverage, to ensure you are protected in case of unforeseen circumstances during the trip.

👉Need help finding the right policy? I’m happy to recommend travel insurance options that include coverage for pre-existing conditions.

How Big is This Small Group Tour?

Your wheelchair accessible small group safari to Kenya will have 8–14 participants.

As a small group, you will have plenty of opportunity to connect with one another, share stories and hopefully build meaningful connections.

Who knows… you might leave Kenya with a new friend or two!

👉Please let me know in advance if you are traveling with children.

Can You Accommodate Special Dietary Requirements?

Most accommodations cater specifically to tourists and serve Western–style food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Kenya safari lodges are flexible when it comes to dietary concerns, as long as the requirements are communicated in advance. This includes vegetarian, and other specific dietary requirements.

👉Please request special dietary concerns when booking, and I will confirm with the tour operator.

Is the Water Safe to Drink?

No, tap water in Kenya is not safe to drink. Stick to mineral water for drinking and brushing your teeth, as bottled water can be difficult to find outside the large cities.

Most camps, lodges and hotels have bottled water readily available.

👉Daily mineral water will be provided by our tour operator.

Is Electricity Reliable?

Electricity in Kenya can be unreliable at times, especially in more remote areas. However, most hotels, lodges, and tented safari camps are well-prepared with solar power systems or backup generators to keep essential services running.

In case there is loss of power, you can be prepared by:
👉Bringing a power bank or portable charger for electronics
👉Use a surge protector for sensitive devices like laptops or medical equipment

✅HELPFUL TIP: Electrical sockets in Kenya usually supply electricity at 230 volts / 50 Hz frequency. If you’re plugging in a device built for 230 volt electrical input, or is compatible with multiple voltages, then a travel adapter is all you need. If your device is not compatible with 230 volts, a voltage converter will be necessary.

Is Kenya Safe?

Yes! Kenya is generally a safe destination, especially for tourists, with more than 1 million visitors every year.

With Lorna Safaris, safety is paramount, and all safari vehicles are well equipped with communications and first aid kits.

Nevertheless, like any travel destination, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings, avoid displaying valuables, and follow the advice of your knowledgeable, professional guide.
