Kenya SafariAdventure &Beach

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

Transfer times:

• The journeys between parks in the 4WD land cruisers are long and some approx 6 hours long but with 2 stops.
• You have to be fit and agile to get in the 4WD land cruisers and be able to travel for a long time.
• Game drives in the 4WD land cruisers last around 2hr
• A reasonable level of fitness/mobility is required as we include plenty of sightseeing/travelling, some with early starts.
• The order of the itinerary and events may be subject to change
• Plastic bags are banned in Kenya they are not to be brought in or carried

The local currency is the Kenyan shilling (KES) but USD are widley accepted at hotels, lodges, and for tipping.

We suggest a Group Collection to cover guides, transfer drivers, and hotel staff of $70.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.

The emphasis is on casual clothing throughout, dressing in layers and waterproofs to allow for changes in the weather. 

These excursions must be booked before departure as they are not available to book in resort.

Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum

The giraffe centre is the headquarters for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, established in 1983 as a sanctuary for the then endangered Rothschild giraffe. The breeding program has been a great success, and visitors can now watch these gentle giants at eye level from a raised platform. There is also the opportunity to learn more about giraffe at the interpretation centre and hand-feed them.

Next, we visit the Karen Blixen Museum, that was once part of her vast coffee estate, “Mbogani” and her home from 1917 until 1931. After her departure the suburbs retained the commemorative home of Karen and the house was restored by the Danish government and used during the filming of "Out of Africa". Glimpse into the typical colonial life in Kenya.

This morning, we have the option to start our day with a hot air balloon safari at sunrise, followed by a delicious bush breakfast and a glass of bubbly
