WHAT TO EXPECT

Let’s manage your expectations from the onset. The North offers one of the most scenic

landscapes 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, decent but it’s not

camping.

This 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 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 with our ground handler.

It’s an intense adventure and you will probably need to do your hair after this trip or hit the

spa!

GENERAL NOTES

1. You will get to refill on water and drinks at the designated local shops.

2. You are advised to pack items that are required during the day in a daypack to avoid the

inconvenience of opening the boot every time.

3. What to Wear: 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 cold, because, as much as people think the desert is hot all the time;

early mornings and evenings can freeze cold.

4. Shoes: Comfortable light Sneakers, Sandals , flip-flops. You will be in the vehicle 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

5. 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.
