Gorillas & Masai Mara

Please visit the Exodus Travel Guide to Kenya Rwanda and Uganda where you can find out what plugs they use, as well as more detailed Country information in the menu on the left of the page.

Yes, without a doubt! Nothing can prepare you for the experience of floating over the Masai Mara and seeing the animals in action from above. It is very special, and well worth the early morning start.

The vehicle used on this trip has something called a 24/240 volt inverter on board. This allows camera, phone and even laptop batteries to be charged whilst the vehicle is moving (i.e. when the engine is running). There is limted space, with approx 4-6 sockets available, so not everyone can charge batteries at once!

There are local trackers in the park that protect the gorillas all day, so you will definitely see them. The trackers will advise the guides by radio as to their wherabouts, so there shouldn't be any problems.

The food is excellent. For breakfast, lots of fruit, cereals and toast. Salad, sandwiches and more fruit for lunch and a hot cooked dinner every evening. There is a complete variety of meals, from western fare to rice based dishes. Vegetarians are well catered for, just let us know before you travel!

Walking boots with ankle support are best when trekking. Flip flops or any comfortable, airy footwear are fine for the rest of the time.

Yes, all the tents have a mosquito proof net on the front which you should keep zipped up at all times to prevent any bugs getting in. However, I  would also recommend taking a spray with you, which can be handy for ankles, arms and neck.

British passport holders can obtain visas on arrival for all countries, with Kenya costing $25, Uganda $65 and Rwanda being free. Please always check the trip notes for the most up to date information or with the relevant embassy if you do not hold a British passport.

To pack so much into a short time, there are some long drives and although the distances are not great, some of the roads are quite poor and bumpy especially after the rainy seasons. We include breaks for toilet facilities, shopping, photos and meals as much as possible, so you can strech your legs at various times during the day. The spectacular scenery and glimpses of village life when travelling make the journeys more enjoyable but come prepared with a sense of adventure (and humour) for a holiday of a lifetime!

Lightweight clothing for the day time, as the sun can be quite strong. Bring warmer layers for the cooler evenings and early mornings, when temperatures can drop surprisingly due to the altitude a lot of Kenya sits at.

Just taking Sterling cash will be fine, and there is no need to change in US dollars. The local currency is the Kenyan Schilling, and you will be changing your money into this and spending with schillings only. Some services will accept dollars as payment, but it is not legal tender. It is best to change money at the airport in Nairobi and ATM machines are availabile there as well. Credit Cards are accepted at most points on the trips if you get stuck as well!

Yes, for British passport holders it is quite straightforward. The cost is $50. Other nationalities should check with the nearest embassy.
