What to Bring

Guests will be using light aircraft for internal flights, and therefore advised to pack in soft bags and travel as light as possible: usually, not more than 15kgs per person. At Ol Pejeta, it can get hot in the middle of the day, but will be cold (10C or a bit lower in June/July) in early morning and at night. Laundry is available daily.

  • Binoculars – Essential! – 1 pair per person
  • Clothing – 2/3 sets of neutral-colored shorts/trousers/shirts and a long pair of trousers, for evening
  • Warm jacket and jumper for evening
  • Lightweight waterproof jacket
  • 1 pair of comfortable walking shoes/boots (waterproof is advised); you can use thorn-proof walking sandals if you prefer. Gaiters may be useful as dew can be heavy in the mornings. A change of shoes for afternoon/evening, and flip-flops are also a good idea
  • Sun protection (broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses and high factor sun cream as we are at altitude on the Equator)
  • Insect repellent with DEET
  • Head torch – extremely useful – (Petzl are good) + spare batteries
  • Any medication or personal items needed for at least the duration of the entire safari
  • Chargers, as we can charge batteries/gadgets in camp from a generator mornings or afternoons
  • Staff Tips: The recommended amount is $5-10 per guest per day, at your discretion
  • Preferences: Please inform us when booking of any special information, medical conditions, and food and drink preferences you would like us to know about when you confirm your safari. Food/drink can then be ordered specially in advance of your stay.
