The best packing lists for Kenya

The Masai Mara and the highlands sit between 1,500 and 2,000 metres, and that changes everything. The game drive leaves in the dark at single-digit temperatures and the afternoon reaches 28 degrees, so you want layers you can shed one by one in the vehicle, and a hat for the first hour.

Good to know for Kenya

Muted colours are the convention, and the red dust gets into everything. A buff for your mouth and your camera helps, and flights to the bush airstrips normally require soft bags with a tight weight limit.

The dry spells from June to October and in January and February are the classic safari months, while the long rains fall from March to May. The coast around Mombasa and Diani, by contrast, is humid year round.

At the wall you meet the British three-pin plug at around 240 volts. The currency is the shilling, mobile payment is widespread, and markets want cash. In Lamu and Mombasa's old town people dress modestly.
