Hello, there! I’m going to Africa soon! Let me describe my “African safari”
checklist to you.

My checklist includes five important aspects. The first, and most important
one, is Vaccination and immunization. The Kenyan Government says I can’t
enter the country without proof that I got a vaccine against the yellow fever. I
also need to check that I have all the common vaccines (the ones you usually
get as a child). For that reason, I have to visit the doctor to check my record
and plan a vaccination schedule (in case I need it) at least three months before
my departure.

The second point on my list is the arrival. The hotel is not close to the airport
so I need to arrange a meet-and-greet service. The people from the hotel can
pick me up at The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. I have to
speak with them soon to let them know about my time of arrival and flight
number.

In addition, I need to make sure I have the appropriate clothing for Africa.
Kenya is a tropical country so days are hot and there is a lot of humidity. For
that reason, I need to buy several T-shirts and shorts for the hot weather.
There are quite a lot of mosquitos in Kenya too. I need to get a mosquito net
and an insect repellent to take with me at all times.

The fourth point on my list is money. The official currency in Kenya is the
Kenya Shilling. Although there are several ATMs in the country now, I need to
make sure I have enough cash with me in case I don’t find one. To exchange
money, it is good to have dollars or euros so I need to buy some before my
trip. I can pay for the hotel and buy souvenirs with a credit card so I have to
call my bank to authorize the use of my credits cards in Kenya. An extra task
is to find out about the Shilling: its coin and bill denominations and to
familiarize with them.

Finally, there is one important thing to consider. That is the contact with
animals during the Safari. I cannot interfere with their natural behavior. It can
be very dangerous. Also, I have to consult my guide before getting out of the
vehicles. There are usually lots of wild animals around and it is better to
prevent attacks.

That’s all friends. See you in Africa!
