You don't get to put your feet on the ground during the safari, you have to sit on the bus all the time - the buses have push up canopies specially designed for safaris, so you can stand on the bus and enjoy the view of East Africa and take photos, just remember: you must not get off the bus! Wildlife reserves are generally high grass, deep grass behind the unknown ambush what animals, once you get out of the car, in terms of running and fighting you are far from carnivorous cats rivals, no matter whether you are happy or not can only be rounded for the "SLOW MEAT" e. Animals are used to find! Kenya's national parks and wildlife reserves are generally very large, especially the Maasai Mara National Park, often 1510 square kilometers, in such a vast area of native savannah, you can see the animals are all natural wild! With such a large protected area, meeting a particular animal is a subjective and active endeavor! Animals are not the fruit of the tree here today and here tomorrow, they are alive, and born with the habit of hidden ambush, is to be found before you can see, so do not be so quick to start doubting the number of existing animal populations in the game reserve, to calm down and watch the six ways also need to be lucky, and the so-called "fun" is also because of the part of the exploration and discovery, only to become exciting and interesting f. Kenya is a strict ban on wildlife products, so do not think about the tusks of elephants or rhinoceros horns, and take a few good pictures to divert the desire to own wildlife products 2. Common sense precautions a. On the climate Kenya's climate is quite good, although it can not be said that the four seasons are like spring, but the average year-round 15-25 degrees Celsius, the annual rainfall of 1,000-1,200 milliliters, although the equator is not far away from the sun is not as hot as imagined, but not at all. Although the equator is not far away, but not at all like imagining is the blazing sun like fire heat wave rolling, basically Kenya is in the nature of the plateau of the savannah climate zone, and there is no obvious seasons, only divided into the dry season and the rainy season: .6?7 rainy season: April to June each year for the rainy season; every year in November for the small rainy season; the morning and evening of the temperatures in these months are relatively low, to come, if you pay attention to the cold to keep warm, with a thicker jacket (such as fleece and so on). Please do not underestimate the low temperatures in the morning and evening of the rainy season in Kenya, as it will be hard to have fun if you catch a cold. ?6?7 dry season: in addition to the rainy season in addition to the months of basically all count the dry season, but the climate characteristics of the dry season to December each year to the next year in February embodies the most obvious, not to say that really hot to the fan on the part of the fan, the main thing is that the sun is full of sunshine, ultraviolet radiation intensity, and a little bit of dryness, casually sunburned a red, swollen and peeling that is the immediate effect of the thing, so hats, sunglasses, sunscreen can not be less (recommended SPF30); other months of dry season in Kenya. (Recommended SPF30 or above); other dry season months climate is more moderate, the sun is relatively speaking soft and lovely a little. 6?7 Kenya is located in the plateau, so the temperature difference between morning and evening is more obvious, a bit like our country Yunnan region, so it is best to wear T-SHIRT outside and then a small open jacket, easy to adapt to the situation. b. About the road and vehicle ?6?7 city driving: Kenya has 70 years of colonial history, so many customs and habits to maintain the British system, including the driving direction, here the vehicle is the right rudder driving, driving on the left, so please do not forget to cross the road when looking backwards. ?6?7 City Taxi: There are no cabs with meters in Kenya, so haggle before you get in and finalize the destination and price with the driver before you go. Cab fares are high, with a fare from the airport to the city of about 1500 KSh, or about 20 USD. .6.7 Kenya's roads are among the worst in the whole of East Africa! The consequence of years of disrepair is that the road surface is full of wounds, holes and small eyes, so summarize the following points to remind you, so that you have a basic psychological preparation before you come: g. Points and attractions are farther away from each other, the drive time is long: the local driver comrades to drive SAFARI basically have skillful skills around the pits, are to prevent the driving process is too bumpy to be forced out of it, but even so, to all of you! But even so, the passenger's ass is still a serious test, plus the driver comrades keep doing around the pits movement, ride will have a more obvious sense of shaking, so here to remind the comrades with a history of motion sickness in advance to prepare for motion sickness medicine. g dry season on the road dusty dust-sensitive comrades please be sure to bring their own dust mask (basically not sold locally, so if you plan to buy it again when you arrive is a little too late), with a mask there is also a side advantage: by the way to do the face of the sun moisturizing. g Kenya's tour buses are not air-conditioned! Kenya on the basis of 12 months of the year 10 months of the climate impeccable absolute advantage, basically let all the tour buses save the cost of air-conditioning, so if it is very sensitive to the temperature picky guests, then sorry you can only be a little.
