Vaccination and Health Requirements for Traveling to Amboseli, Kenya

Greetings, adventurous travelers! If the majestic landscapes of Amboseli National Park in Kenya are on your bucket list, it's essential to be well-prepared health-wise. Before you embark on this unforgettable journey with Campo East Africa Safaris, let's dive into the necessary vaccinations and health requirements to ensure a safe and smooth trip.

1. COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing:

• Vaccination: All travelers aged 18 and above must provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination. The last dose should have been administered at least two weeks before traveling.
• Testing: If you're not vaccinated, a negative PCR test taken within 96 hours before travel is mandatory. Children under the age of 5 are exempted from this requirement.

2. Yellow Fever Vaccination:

Kenya is a Yellow Fever-endemic zone. It's crucial to get vaccinated against Yellow Fever, especially if you're coming from or transiting through a country with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission. Remember to carry your Yellow Fever certificate, as it might be required upon entry.

3. Malaria Prophylaxis:

While Amboseli is not a high-risk area for Malaria, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Consult your doctor about taking Malaria prophylaxis before your trip. Using mosquito repellents and sleeping under a mosquito net can also help prevent Malaria.

4. Other Recommended Vaccinations:

While not mandatory, consider getting vaccinated against:

• Hepatitis A and B
• Typhoid
• Cholera
• Rabies
• Meningitis
• Polio
• Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)

5. Health Insurance:

Ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical treatment abroad and medical evacuation, if necessary.

6. Stay Updated:

Health requirements can change, so it's always a good idea to check with the U.S. Embassy in Kenya and other reliable sources before your trip.
