What to pack for a Kenya safari
By Triptastic team, 18 September 2026

You do not need much, and the airline weight limit on small safari flights is often low, so pack light and soft.
Clothes
Pack light layers in neutral colours. Mornings and evenings can be cool, especially on early drives, so bring a fleece or a warm top. A hat and sunglasses are useful in the middle of the day.
Gear
Bring binoculars if you have them, a camera with a spare battery, and a power bank. Comfortable walking shoes are enough for most itineraries.
Health and documents
Speak to your doctor or a travel clinic well before you travel, and check the official eTA portal for entry requirements. Travel insurance is not included in our prices, so arrange your own. TODO_CLIENT: confirm.
