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.

My favorite vacation.
My favorite holiday
We stayed in a hotel where we were treated very well and began to enjoy.
We met nice people from Cartagena very friendly, we bought and ate delicious seafood in the
restaurants of the city.
It was fantastic. I practiced diving, I swam in the ocean with my sister, we saw a starfish and many
snails and crabs.
The hottest days were at sea and we swam to get tired, of course, I did it carefully.
We went to a nightclub called the cave and then we traveled through the city in a carriage.
These vacations needed them to forget the problems and emphasized the daily routine at work.
We buy souvenirs, clothes, objects, ornaments and we fully load things in the hotel.
My vacations were fantastic because I rested a lot, met new friends and met beautiful places.
In conclusion, I can say that I had a wonderful time with my family, I enjoy the time and the moments I
spend on that amazing beach, I hope we will return there one day!
