What colours should you wear on a Maasai Mara safari?

Wear neutral colours such as khaki, olive and beige. Avoid bright colours and especially dark blue and black, which attract tsetse flies.

What is the luggage weight limit on safari charter flights?

Charter flights to the Maasai Mara typically limit luggage to around 15 kg in a soft-sided bag, including hand luggage. Always confirm your operator's exact allowance.

Do you need binoculars for a safari?

Yes. Binoculars greatly improve wildlife viewing, especially for distant big cats and birds. A pair around 8x42 is ideal for safari.

What health items should you pack for the Maasai Mara?

Pack antimalarial tablets, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, personal medication and a small first-aid kit. The Mara is a malaria area, so prophylaxis is recommended.
