Drinking Water (Kenya)
Kenya uses the UK-style three-pin plug (Type G) with 230V electricity, so be sure to bring a universal adaptor for your devices. Many safari lodges operate on solar power or generators, which can mean limited electricity at certain times. However, our luxury lodges provide continuous power and do not shut down electricity. Because power can be limited, it’s a good idea to charge essential items— such as cameras, phones, and power banks—whenever electricity is on. Carrying a small solar charger can also be useful for remote areas. If you use medical equipment that requires power, like a CPAP machine, inform your lodge in advance. Most properties can accommodate special electrical needs, but early notice ensures everything is set up for your arrival. Lighting in eco-friendly camps is often softer to reduce environmental impact, so having a small battery-powered reading light or extra batteries for your devices can be helpful. It’s also wise to bring extra charging cables and a power strip if traveling with multiple devices. Electricity and Adaptors (Kenya)
Insider Tip: For all Kenyan trips booked with us, medical evacuation cover is included. In case of a medical emergency, you will be evacuated to the nearest suitable hospital.
Only drink bottled or filtered water. This is always provided at your lodges and in safari vehicles throughout Kenya’s safari regions. Many camps now offer reusable water bottles with refill stations as part of their sustainability efforts. Please avoid drinking tap water. Use bottled or filtered water when brushing your teeth to avoid accidental ingestion of untreated water. While most lodges maintain high safety standards, these simple precautions help prevent unnecessary stomach issues during your trip. If you require extra water at any time, whether at the lodge or while traveling between regions such as the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, or Tsavo, just let your guide or camp staff know. They are always happy to assist and ensure you remain comfortable and well-hydrated throughout your stay. Many travelers also find it helpful to carry a small insulated bottle to keep water cool throughout the day, especially during midday heat. This makes it easier to stay consistently hydrated while enjoying bush walks, cultural visits, or extended wildlife sightings out on the plains, providing added convenience, comfort, and peace of mind as you explore different environments and experience the varied landscapes throughout your safari adventure.
