The best time of the year to safari in Kenya is the boreal summer, from July to September. A second choice is the bore al winter from January to February. There are two rainy seasons, the “long rains” from March to June and the “short rains” from October to December. Seasonal rains condition both road communications and some cyclic wildlife movements.

It is advisable to have the vaccinations against yellow fever, hepatitis, typhus and tetanus. Risk of malaria is very reduced in Nairobi and the Highlands above 2,000 m, whereas the risk rises in the Indian Ocean coast.

The usual prophylaxis consists of a combination of chloroquine and proguanyl, or otherwise drugs that combine the two compounds. Prophylaxis with mefloquine (Lariam) is specially recommended for high risk areas, given the presence of strains resistant to chlorine and Sulphadoxine – Pyrimetamine.

The national currency is the Kenya shilling (Ksh or KES). Each shilling is divided into 100 cents. In 2006 1 USD is exchanged at the average rate of 73 Ksh.
