Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about planning and booking a safari with Lisam Tours Kenya.

How far in advance should I book a safari?

For peak season (July-October, and the Christmas/New Year period), we recommend booking 3-6 months ahead since camps fill up early. Outside peak season, a few weeks' notice is often enough, though earlier is always better for the best choice of accommodation.

Is it safe to travel to Kenya and Tanzania?

Millions of tourists visit both countries safely every year, and safari areas in particular are well set up for visitors. As with any travel, we recommend checking your government's current travel advisories and taking normal common-sense precautions.

Do you offer both budget and luxury options?

Yes. Every itinerary on this site can be built at a budget, mid-range or luxury accommodation level - tell us your preference when you enquire and we'll quote accordingly.

Can you build a custom itinerary instead of a fixed package?

Absolutely - the tours on this site are starting points, not fixed menus. Tell us your dates, interests and budget on our Plan Your Safari page and we'll put together something specific to you.

What is not included in your safari prices?

International/domestic flights, visa fees, travel insurance, tips and drinks are typically excluded - each tour page lists exactly what is and isn't included for that itinerary.

Do I need a visa or eTA to visit Kenya?

Most visitors need an approved Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before travelling to Kenya - see our Visa Kenya guide in the Practical Information menu for current details.

Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

It depends on where you are travelling from - see our Kenya Yellow Fever Requirements guide in the Practical Information menu for the current rules.

What payment methods do you accept?

See our Easy Payments guide in the Practical Information menu for current options.
