NEXT LEVEL KENYA YOGA RETREAT

Traveling to Kenya

Kenya is one of the most accessible tourist countries in Africa, especially for American travelers. As a former British colony, the national language is English. Nairobi houses the African headquarters of the United Nations and is therefore home to a large number of American and European expats. As the hub of East Africa, Nairobi is also home to major NGO’s and international aid organizations working in the region. 

Requirements and general travel info:

• Visitors are required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (i.e. visa).

• The ETA is completed online, costs $35 and takes 10 minutes to complete.

• Vaccinations are not required for visitors entering from the U.S. or Europe. Travelers should vaccinate or not vaccinate according to their comfort level.

• A yellow fever card is required if visitors are entering from or transiting through countries that have higher yellow fever cases. These include certain countries in Africa and Asia, NOT U.S.A., Europe, or the Middle East.

• Malaria is extremely rare in Nairobi and Lake Nakuru due to the cooler climates and the lack of malaria transmitting mosquitoes.

• Malaria is more common in Lamu due to the tropical weather conditions. Guests should use their discretion and comfort level in determining whether or not they will travel with malaria medication.

• All of the hotels, boutiques and shops we’ll be visiting take foreign credit and debit cards. We will also have the opportunity to withdraw Kenya Shillings from an ATM in Nairobi in case guests would like to purchase from street side vendors and to offer tips.

• The retreat includes two weather climates – dryer and cooler in Nairobi/Nakuru; tropical in Lamu. Once registered, guests will receive a comprehensive travel list.
