Photography Safari - Amboseli Reserve

Parc National AmboseliMinibus DriverEnglish-speaking guide

Camera in hand, we become witnesses to scenes of wildlife: a colony of elephants nonchalantly drag their feet across the savanna; lion cubs rush toward their mother, young Maasai watching over their cattle… An unforgettable day that will close out our Kenyan adventure.

Transfer to Tsavo West

Parc National De Tsavo OuestMinibus DriverEnglish-speaking guide

After breakfast, we take the trail that leads to the Tsavo reserve. We drop our luggage at the campsite located outside the park and then set off on a photo safari through the authentic landscapes of the park. We soak in the East African atmosphere with the red color of the tracks in the middle of bushland dotted with enormous baobab trees. We find fewer animals here than in Amboseli and Nakuru, but that doesn't prevent us from having beautiful encounters.

The information below concerns entry requirements for Kenya for tourist stays. Since entry regulations may change, we recommend verifying the information with the official authorities before your departure.

Passport

To enter Kenya, your passport must be valid for a minimum of six months beyond your date of entry into the country and contain at least two blank pages for immigration stamps.
The document must be in good condition (no damaged, torn, or altered pages).

Visa and eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization)

Since January 2024, Kenya has replaced the traditional visa with an electronic travel authorization (eTA), which is mandatory for all travellers.

The eTA must be obtained online before departure through the official Kenyan government portal. It is generally processed within a few business days and permits a tourist stay of up to 90 days.

When applying, the following documents are generally required:

  • a valid passport,

  • a proof of departure from the territory (return or onward flight),

  • proof of accommodation booking,

  • proof of sufficient financial resources for the duration of your stay.

The eTA confirmation (digital or printed format) must be presented upon arrival to the immigration services.

Health and Vaccinations

Kenya is considered a malaria risk area. Taking a preventive antimalarial treatment is strongly recommended; consult your doctor before departure.

Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory if you are arriving from a country where this disease is endemic. In this case, you must be able to present a valid international vaccination certificate upon arrival.

The following vaccinations are also recommended:

  • hepatitis A and B,

  • typhoid,

  • meningitis,

  • update of routine vaccinations (tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis).

Travel with Children

Minors must hold their own valid passport covering the duration of the stay, as well as their own eTA.

When a minor travels without one of their parents, a parental authorization may be required according to the regulations of your country of residence.

Entry Requirements by Nationality

Entry conditions may vary depending on nationality. Travellers should check the specific requirements with the Kenyan embassy or consulate in their country of residence.
