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!
