The trip to Kenya 
was unforgettable, with scenes from the Animal World vividly unfolding before my eyes: endless grasslands, 360-degree views of Mount Kilimanjaro, thousands of wildebeests chasing each other, flamingos filling the sky, lions and elephants walking right by the car window… Everything was so beautiful 
, it’s absolutely worth going

How to Get There?
Currently, there are direct flights to Nairobi from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Changsha in China
Is a visa required?
Yes, but visa-free does not mean you can just go with your passport. You still need to apply for an ETA online in advance
Is it safe?
It is very safe because national parks and other attractions are mostly visited by tourists.
However, other areas may have poorer security, and it is not recommended to go out alone after dark
When is the best time to go?
July-September is the season for the great animal migration in Kenya, where you can see spectacular scenes of animal migration. It is also the peak season, and prices are relatively high; the off-season offers better value, fewer people, and you can still see the animals, just not during the “migration”
Is vaccination mandatory?
Yes, the checks at customs are very strict, and for the sake of your health, you must get vaccinated!
What about hygiene conditions?
Do not drink tap water, only bottled water. Food from hotels and restaurants is safe to eat, no problem
How much does the trip cost?
During the off-season, 15,000-25,000 RMB per person is reasonable, while during the peak season, 20,000-35,000 RMB can ensure a good travel experience
