It is best to contact your doctor or a clinic specializing in tropical diseases for precise information on the health context in Kenya and the mandatory/recommended vaccines. As all of our camps are located in malarial areas, we suggest that you pass this information on to your doctor when seeking advice.
Contact is extremely limited (most of the time there is nothing at all). We therefore suggest that you inform your family and friends in advance of the limited nature of the contact.

It is generally very hot in Kenya, bring light but covering clothes.
Don’t forget your mosquito repellent! :)
