Safety Precautions

Safety precautions when in Kenya

Kenya people are very friendly and hospitable. But due to a prevalent poverty, it may be dangerous walking in some areas especially at night and alone.

You will mostly be taking photographs while atop a safari vehicle and it is helpful to have only four photographers per vehicle to avoid blocking each others views.

Basic Safety Rules

• Make a copy of your passport and keep it in your luggage, but keep the original with you
• Don't walk on your own at night in cities or empty beaches.
• Don't wear a lot of expensive jewelery.
• Don't carry a lot of cash with you.
• Don't carry a lot of camera equipment.
• Beware of thieves posing as police officers.
• Kenyan roads are a little rough. Avoid driving at night to avoid potholes and some vehicles without headlights.
• Keep your car doors and windows locked while driving in the major cities.
• Car-jackings occur regularly but they may not end in violence if you comply with the car jackers demands.
