Kenya: Safari & Conservation‎ > ‎

Is This Trip Right for You?

Discover Corps wants our travelers to be as prepared as possible. Please read the points below thoroughly to see if this trip is right for you. Reach out to the Travel Coordinator for any additional clarification or questions.

Vehicle Time: Due to the location of the safari and the game drives, you will spend a lot of time in vehicles. During your time in Kenya, we will explore many incredible and unique destinations. Reaching these places will require some long drives, with travel times of around 7 hours. Please come prepared to embrace the journey and make the most of this unforgettable experience.

Wildlife: You should feel comfortable in being in open game vehicles in a reserve where there are wild animals. The guides are professionals and will give you specific instructions before each game drive. Please also remember that wildlife is unpredictable. Although we will do our best to spot many animals, we cannot guarantee you are going to see them. 

Poverty: Nairobi is a rapidly growing city, but like many developing urban areas, it faces challenges such as traffic congestion and income inequality. Visitors may find the poverty in certain areas surprising or even unsettling. In some parts of the city, you may be approached by people selling goods or asking for food or money. While your local guide will help navigate these situations, it’s important to know that it’s completely acceptable to politely say, “no, thank you” and walk away.
