An eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to Kenya. After you have booked a safari and paid the necessary deposit, we will issue a travel document or booking confirmation document to you for the eTA application. For this you will be required to provide your (and your companions’) passport number(s) which will be included in the travel document. In the case that all accommodations are paid in full ahead of the Safari, we will also service you with the accommodation confirmation vouchers which can also be uploaded for the eTA application.

Like most international destinations, Tanzania and Kenya charge an airport departure tax for all international flights. The tax may be included in the airline ticket price. If it is not included, visitors must pay the tax in cash at the airport upon arrival. Departure taxes can be paid in local currency or U.S. Dollars.

Most major hotels and restaurants include a service charge. Tipping is not obligatory and is entirely at your discretion. Porters at airports, hotels or lodges may be tipped a $1.00 per piece of baggage. A gratuity of 10% is customary at restaurants and bars where a service charge is not included.

Note that on safaris, tips are considered almost part of the pay. A tip for your guide of $2.00 to $5.00 per person per day is appropriate.

The local electricity supply is 220/240 volts AC, 50HZ. Plugs are 3 point square. If you are planning to bring a video camera charger or any other electrical device, please bring voltage and plug adaptors where appropriate. Major hotels usually provide hair dryers, irons and other electrical amenities upon request.

Most of our safaris operate on private basis with a minimum of two persons booking, and we recommend not more than 7 persons for maximum comfort and guaranteed window seats.
