Yellow Fever Outbreak

Yellow Fever is a fatal viral infection which is normally transmitted by mosquitoes. Due to a recent outbreak in Uganda, the Ministry of Health has advised all passengers who are travelling to Zanzibar must have a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival.

We advise you to speak to your local GP to receive up to date information about the vaccination.

Airline Baggage Allowance

With everything but the kitchen sink in the case, you travel to the airport ready to jet off on a special holiday. Then you reach check-in and realise that the 5th pair of shoes you packed that had seemed so essential at the time are really just an unnecessary weight which has put you over the limit.  It is one of those rules which doesn’t cross your mind until you’re having to get your delicates out in front of the entire airport…. trust me this is an embarrassment which you do not want to experience!
I know keeping up with each airline’s rules can be tricky, but getting it right could save your holiday fund or even buy the extra leg room seat to make the journey a little more comfortable.
The table below should be of help and shows a guideline of the baggage allowance on each airline so you’ll have no excuses for turning up with too much luggage:

The Great Safari Debate – 4×4 or Minibus?

It’s a common question that we get here at Africa Sky, which vehicle gives the best views and opportunities for capturing magical photos?  In truth either option will provide an experience you will never forget, but for us the 4x4’s are a clear winner.  In fact we are so confident that we have purchased our own customised vehicle exclusively for our customers. Our 4×4 is stationed in Nairobi, Kenya and operates in the surrounding national parks.  The vehicle has an extended cabin offering ample space so passengers can see more than just the seat in front.  The rear cabin has extended windows providing passengers with panoramic views and removing the rush for window seats in a minibus.
Africa Sky’s Magical Kenya Safaris utilise the vehicle and offer two bespoke itineraries.  The first takes passengers on a journey to 4 National Parks over an 8 day period, while the second is a shorter excursion to the Masai Mara.  On each trip passengers are accompanied by one of our extremely knowledgeable local driver/guides Robert and Dave.
