What to bring on a Nairobi National Park safari
Bring the ticket, the ID that matches it, neutral clothing, and a layer for the dawn roof. The rest is optional.
| Bring | Leave or skip |
|---|---|
| Passport or the ID you used to buy the KWS ticket | A drone, unless KWS has given you written permission |
| eCitizen screenshot saved offline | Single-use plastic bags. KWS prohibits them. |
| Khaki, olive, brown, or muted green clothes | Bright white or neon if you want animals to ignore you |
| A fleece or light jacket at 06:00 | A large hard suitcase. The vehicle is for people, not airport freight. On a layover, ask us about bags first. |
| Closed shoes if you want the Hippo Pools walk | Sandals for that walk |
| Binoculars, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses | A spotlight or a powerful torch for a day drive |
| A rain shell in the wet months | Speaker, and anything you would hoot with. Hooting is prohibited. |
Half-day guests rarely need more than a small bag. Full-day guests who picnic inside the park should add food they can eat without leaving a mess, and carry the rubbish out. KWS asks visitors to take their trash with them.
Children need the same ticket logic as adults. Tell us ages when you book. A child seat is not automatic. Ask, and we will say whether we have one before you pay.
