If you’re planning your first safari, excitement is probably running high—and so are your questions. What should you pack? When’s the best time to visit? How do game drives work?
At The Little Known Expeditions, we make sure our guests are fully prepared. Here are our top tips:
1. Pack Light, Dress Right
Neutral-colored clothing is best for blending into the bush. Bring layers for cool mornings and warm afternoons.
2. Don’t Forget the Essentials
A good pair of binoculars, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a wide-brimmed hat are must-haves. Also, carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
3. Choose the Right Time to Travel
July to October is ideal for witnessing the Great Migration, while the green season (November to March) offers lush scenery and newborn wildlife.
4. Follow the Rules of the Wild
Your guide will keep you safe, but always respect animals and stay inside the vehicle unless instructed otherwise.
5. Travel Responsibly
Support ethical tour operators who practice eco-tourism and give back to local communities. That’s exactly what we do at The Little Known Expeditions.
By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying a safe, unforgettable safari in Kenya.
