Most people come to Kenya when the UK winter is in full swing and the Kenyan summer is just kicking off. It’s warm around Christmas time, but the heat really cranks up around February and March, when the temperature rockets past the 30˚C mark. Spring and autumn are a bit cooler, and you might need a jumper for the evening. Kenya is coolest between July and August, when temperatures hover around 20˚C.
To enter Kenya, you’ll need a visa and a valid passport. You can get a visa when you get to Kenya – they cost around $50. You can pay in US dollars, sterling or euros. You can also get your visa from the Kenyan High Commission in London. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/kenya/entry-requirements
You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. No jabs are compulsory for Kenya, but it’s a good idea to get medical advice at least three weeks before you go, as vaccinations for typhoid, yellow fever and Hepatitis A are recommended. You should also take malaria prevention tablets before, during and after your trip. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/kenya/health.
