Practical Tips for Kenya
Time the Migration
River crossings in the Maasai Mara peak Jul–Oct. Book camps early — the good ones fill a year ahead for migration season.
Health Prep
Yellow-fever vaccination may be required, and malaria prophylaxis is recommended for the parks and coast. Carry repellent with DEET.
Pay by Phone
M-Pesa mobile money is everywhere. A local Safaricom SIM makes payments, data and matatu travel far easier.
