IMPORTANT INFORMATION
What to expect
Let’s manage your expectations from the onset. The North offers one of the most scenic Landscapes with unique cultures in Kenya. However:-If you are looking for fancy linen and bedding, this is not the trip.If you want some luxury. This is not the trip. Accommodation is basic, clean and decent.-Mostly Manyatta in the villages We have comfort properties with limited roomsThis is an adventure trip to the north and we ensure you are comfortable. The rooms are clean, the food is fantastic and the guides are awesome.The places listed are on a budget but we have been able to get the best. It’s a new destination and this is clear in the infrastructure, but we have been doing these trips to transform lives through tourism in the North. It’s an intense adventure and you will probably need to do your hair after this trip or hit the spa
FOOD: Meals are provided except for first-day breakfast, lunch and the last day lunch. PS: Any special dietary requirements such as diabetic, vegetarian, lactose intolerant, or non-beef MUST BE communicated in advance for the meals we prepare.
DRINKS: We don't provide water during the trip but at each stopover, there is a water kiosk.
CREW: Your Tour will have crew members that include driver Guide and Local guide
CLOTHES: Desert safari clothes should be neutral, breathable, and adjustable for both hot, and cold temperatures and plenty of dust. Hot, because the desert afternoons are blazing sunny. And nights are cold.
SHOES: Comfortable Sneakers & Sandals, You can wear both sneakers, light boots and flip-flops and it doesn’t matter too much because you will be in the cruiser most of the time. There will be short breaks and stops–where you get out to stretch your legs, enjoy the desert scenery and take pictures. We recommend sneakers or light boots to walk on the sand dunes
SUNSCREEN/LIP BALM: The best way to protect yourself from sunburns is by covering yourself with sunscreen. The lip balm will protect your lips from cracking as the desert is dusty and dry. Make sure your sunscreen is not greasy, tacky or too scented.
