Travel inspiration

Prepare thoughtfully.

Practical preparation and honest advice — packing, seasons, documents and what to expect day to day. Read our field notes and journal, then begin a conversation when you are ready.

East Africa, intimately known↓

Packing simply

Neutral, layered clothing; a warm layer for dawn drives; broken-in shoes; a hat, sunscreen and good sunglasses. Soft bags travel better than hard cases on light aircraft. Almost everything else can be bought or lived without.

Documents and entry

Passports generally need six months of validity beyond your travel dates, and visas and entry requirements differ by nationality and country and change over time — check the current requirements with the relevant authority or your embassy before you travel. We advise on the journey; the documents stay your responsibility to verify.

Health decisions belong to clinicians

Malaria prevention, vaccinations and regional health advice should come from your doctor or a travel clinic, ideally early. Remote camps have limited medical access — travel insurance that covers your itinerary is essential.

Money and connectivity

Cards are accepted in cities and larger lodges; carry some cash for gratuities and small purchases. Connectivity exists but varies — many travellers welcome the quiet, and we brief you honestly on what to expect where you are going.
