Travel Health

Climate in Kenya
Climate
Kenya boasts a diverse tropical climate, typically enjoying warmth and sunshine year-round, punctuated by two distinct rainy seasons. Temperatures fluctuate considerably with elevation: the highlands experience cooler weather, while coastal and low-lying regions are much warmer. These rainfall patterns, including the clearly defined wet periods, are primarily shaped by the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

Local Customs
Kenyan culture places a high value on strong social connections and reverence, particularly towards older generations. Greetings, often including handshakes and personal inquiries, are a significant part of daily interactions. Modest attire is generally favoured, especially in rural and coastal regions. Always seek permission before photographing individuals or their belongings

In Kenya, tipping is customary for good service in restaurants, hotels, and especially on safaris. A tip of 10-15% is generally expected in restaurants and bars when a service charge isn’t included. For safari guides and other staff, a daily tip of around $10-$15 per person is a common guideline
