Dan Planning ahead can make travelling with your children or furry friends enjoyable and rewarding. Kenya offers plenty of family-friendly travel destinations as well as pet-friendly establishments.
Travelling with Kids:
Entertainment: Bring along a tablet, colouring books, or toys to keep them occupied on lengthy trips.
Snacks & Water: Make sure they have enough water to drink and wholesome snacks.
Clothing: Mornings can be cold, and afternoons can be hot, so dress them in layers.
Health: Carry any medication your child may need. Additionally, sunscreen and insect repellent are necessities.
Child-friendly spaces: Choose hotels or lodges with open spaces, pools, or kid zones.
Transport: Some buses have family seating, but private vehicles offer more flexibility.
Travelling with Pets:
Accommodation: Not all places allow pets. Make a call in advance to make sure.
Transport: It is best to take a private vehicle. It is rare for long-distance public transport to allow pets.
Pet needs: Bring their leash, food, water bowl, and a familiar blanket.
Health check: Ensure your pet is vaccinated and in good condition for the journey.
Local regulations: In national parks and protected areas, pets are often not allowed.
