Photography
Visitors are advised that it is an offence to photograph Kenya's Head of, State, Military installations, Policeman in uniforms, etc. As a general rule elsewhere, visitors are strongly advised to seek permission before taking anyone's photograph especially the Samburu, Turkana and Masai tribes.
Driving
Driving is on the left-hand side of the road and many of the road signs will be familiar to European drivers. Major cities are connected by roads, which for the most part are not in very good condition. Self-hire is arranged locally but not recommended, you will need an International Driving License, and the maximum speed limit is 100 KPH.
Luggage
It is strongly recommended that you keep limit to your luggage to one flexible lightweight bag and one handbag per person whilst on safari/tours. Most City hotels have facilities for storing luggage not required on safari. Laundering is normally available but can be expensive. On air safaris the maximum baggage per person is 15 kilos (Kenya) and 10 kilos elsewhere
