Kenya requires you to obtain an e-visa ahead of time.
E-visas for Kenya can be applied for by visiting www.evisa.go.ke
Only apply for your E-Visa within a month to a week before you travel, if you do it earlier it just sits in a queue. The process is usually complete within 48 hours of submitting the application; check back into the portal and it is there – they don’t send emails alerting you to status. When filling in the form, you will be required to provide an address of where you will be staying. Olkupelia Mara office address is as follows: Sifa Towers, Lenana Road, Kilimani Nairobi. This address can be used throughout the application.
Yellow Fever is not required to enter Kenya unless you are arriving from or have transited through a yellow fever endemic country (i.e. most African and South American countries). But it is recommended as Yellow Fever has been detected in parts of Kenya (except Eastern, Nairobi and Mombasa Yellow Fever in Kenya). The vaccination must be done at least two weeks before arrival (as it is only effective after 10 days of having it). When you obtain a yellow fever vaccination you must ask your doctor to provide you with an International Certificate of Vaccination, which should be shown at immigration as proof that you have fulfilled the vaccination requirement. If you do not carry this proof you may be denied entry into the country or requested to repeat the vaccine to allow entry into Kenya.
Prior to travelling, please make sure that you have medical insurance coverage that also includes treatment for COVID-19. Travel insurance is useful incase you have unanticipated medical expenses along the way, need emergency evacuation, your luggage is lost or delayed, your trip is cancelled or portions of your trip are interrupted in any way. We recommend that you add any nonrefundable travel to your plan, especially airline tickets. Please note that most insurance companies require you to purchase insurance within two weeks of purchasing nonrefundable travel.
We secure AMREF’s Flying Doctors evacuation cover for you while on safari. It is a medical air evacuation to cover travel for a period of 30 days or less. We normally include this in your itinerary for peace of mind.
We provide Premium organic bath products at the Camp. Incase you prefer personal toiletries then you can have some for use.
