Traveller tips
Pack layers of clothing as temperatures can vary throughout the day. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen, especially at higher altitudes. Respect the local customs and wildlife when visiting conservation areas. Bargain at local markets for souvenirs and handmade crafts. Try the local cuisine, such as nyama choma (grilled meat) and ugali (maize porridge).
