The vehicle type depends on the safari and group size. Safari vehicles are selected for game viewing, comfort and road conditions, and may include safari vans or 4x4 vehicles.

Many are family-friendly, although suitability depends on children’s ages, boat travel, walking requirements and the type of activity.
Mountain Climbing
Questions about Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro trekking.
Standard trekking routes to Uhuru Peak do not normally require technical rock-climbing skills, but the altitude, cold and long summit day make the climb physically demanding.
Popular routes include Machame, Lemosho, Marangu and Rongai. The best choice depends on your available days, fitness, preferred scenery and acclimatisation profile.
Yes. Point Lenana is commonly approached as a high-altitude trek. Batian and Nelion are technical climbing peaks and require specialist skills and equipment.
Very important. A slower itinerary with adequate acclimatisation time is generally preferable to rushing the ascent.
