Clothing:
Simple wear like jeans, shorts and t-shirts work best due to the heat. Open shoes are nice but boots are better when you intend to do a walk. A sunhat, sunglasses, sun scream, lip balm and insect repellant lotion are important to counter the sun's heat, wind, dry conditions and bugs.
Safety:
Safety is of paramount importance and therefore Masai guides patrol the camp at regular intervals after dark. Guests are advised to remain in their tent after dark, and will be escorted between their tent and the lounge/dining areas by a staff member.
Health and Insurance:
Kenya is a malaria zone therefore guests should consult their doctor about prophylactic measures before travelling. Guests should also be covered by comprehensive travel insurance.
