Trave Tips Kenya

Are your planning your nest holiday to Kenya? Then here what you need to know
INSURANCE
You are strongly advised to take out travel and medical insurance in your country of origin. However, most travel agents can arrange medical and personal insurance if required.
Within Kenya, I recommend joining the Flying Doctor's Society which, for a small membership fee, will provide an airlift free of charge from anywhere within Kenya accessible by air to Nairobi
HEALTH
Malaria is endemic to certain areas of East Africa and all visitors should begin taking their anti-malaria prophylactics two weeks before arriving, throughout their stay and for a minimum of three weeks after leaving. Pharmaceutical facilities are adequate in the big City centers. There are chemists (drug stores) in all major urban areas but any visitors requiring special and continuing medication should bring sufficient quantities. The equatorial sun is deceptive and can inflict severe burns even on overcast days. Good sun cream and lip balms, with a high degree of sun protection factor, are strongly recommended. Piped water supplies are generally safe in municipal areas but local advice should be taken particularly on safari. Bottled mineral water, both local and imported, can be purchased in hotels, sundry shops and other tourist kiosks. Filtered and safe drinking water is often provided (in thermos flasks) in hotels or lodge rooms, but it is advisable not to drink water from the taps, rivers or lakes. Do not bathe in rivers and lakes.
SECURITY
Security is really a matter of common sense, and the same precautions should be taken in our towns and cities as in any city worldwide. It is advisable not to wear jewellery (especially necklaces and expensive watches), do not carry large sums of money, and keep a close watch on handbags, wallets and camera equipment. When walking in town keep to the main thoroughfares and avoid walking at night, especially alone. Make use of hotel safe or deposit boxes and never leave valuables in hotel rooms or safari vehicles. It is a good policy to travel with photocopies of your passport, traveler’s cheques, and any other important documents.

As Glenscare Africa Kenya Movers and its continental wide agency family continues to grow, it will offer more and more services related to logistics, transportation, storage, and relocation within the Africa countries. Current conditions in Kenya sometimes challenge the use of the many modern transportation and communication technologies. Those technologies only become available when locally owed service providers invest in both their companies and countries. Often foreign owned companies are satisfied in only providing mediocre services while maximizing profits due to shipper demands under difficult circumstances.

Glenscare Africa’s goal is to provide timely, secure, and reasonable transportation, logistics, and relocation services as current circumstance allow. However, we are committed to building a highly professional infrastructure of African owned service providers who will constantly reinvest in their quality of service, growth, number of employees, facilities, services and equipment.
