Hello, there! I’m going to Africa soon! Let me describe my “African safari”
checklist to you.

My checklist includes five important aspects. The first, and most important
one, is Vaccination and immunization. The Kenyan Government says I can’t
enter the country without proof that I got a vaccine against the yellow fever. I
also need to check that I have all the common vaccines (the ones you
usually get as a child). For that reason, I have to visit the doctor to check my
record and plan a vaccination schedule (in case I need it) at least three
months before my departure.

The second point on my list is the arrival. The hotel is not close to the airport
so I need to arrange a meet-and-greet service. The people from the hotel
can pick me up at The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. I have
to speak with them soon to let them know about my time of arrival and flight
number.

In addition, I need to make sure I have the appropriate clothing for Africa.
Kenya is a tropical country so days are hot and there is a lot of humidity. For
that reason, I need to buy several T-shirts and shorts for the hot weather.
There are quite a lot of mosquitos in Kenya too. I need to get a mosquito net
and an insect repellent to take with me at all times.

The fourth point on my list is money. The official currency in Kenya is the
Kenya Shilling. Although there are several ATMs in the country now, I need
to make sure I have enough cash with me in case I don’t find one. To
exchange money, it is good to have dollars or euros so I need to buy some
before my trip. I can pay for the hotel and buy souvenirs with a credit card so
I have to call my bank to authorize the use of my credits cards in Kenya. An
extra task is to find out about the Shilling: its coin and bill denominations and
to familiarize with them.

Finally, there is one important thing to consider. That is the contact with
animals during the Safari. I cannot interfere with their natural behavior. It can
be very dangerous. Also, I have to consult my guide before getting out of the
vehicles. There are usually lots of wild animals around and it is better to
prevent attacks.

That’s all friends. See you in Africa!

Hello! I'm going to Mexico soon! Let me describe my
checklist.

My checklist includes five important aspects. The first, and

the most important, is vaccination and immunization. To
travel to Mexico, it is recommended to get vaccinated
against hepatitis A and B, rabies and typhoid fever. I also
need to verify that I have all the common vaccines (the ones
I usually get as a child). For that reason, I have to visit the
doctor to check my record and plan a vaccination schedule
(in case I need it) at least six weeks before my departure.

The second point on my list is the arrival. The hotel is not

near the airport, so I have to organize a meeting and
welcome service. The people of the hotel can pick me up at
the Tijuana international airport. I have to talk to them soon
to inform them about my arrival time and flight number.

Also, I need to make sure I have the right clothes for Mexico.
Mexico is a tropical country, so the days are hot and there is
a lot of humidity. For that reason, I need to buy several
shirts and shorts for the warm weather. I wear a raincoat in
case of rain.

The fourth point on my list is money. The official currency in

Mexico is the Mexican pesos. Although there are now
several ATMs in the country, I need to make sure I have
enough cash in case I do not find one. To exchange money, it
is good to have dollars, so I have to buy some before my
trip. . An additional task is to find out about the Mexican
Peso: its denominations of coins and bills and to become
familiar with them.

Finally, there is another aspect to consider seeing the

transportation costs and distances.

Respect the places visited.
