RCGS: Classic Kenya 4WD Safari with Scott Forsyth

No country, perhaps, is more synonymous with a classic African safari than Kenya. Step into scenes from ‘Out of Africa’ accompanied by renowned RCGS Photographer-in-Residence, Scott Forsyth on this Exodus Classic featuring exclusive upgraded accommodation for the RCGS. An innate curiosity of the natural world combined with his passion for landscapes has made him the perfect host on this adventure through the best of Kenya. Scott will be on-hand to help you capture the beauty of Kenya’s wildlife and dramatic scenery through the lens of your camera.

Head out into Lake Nakuru National Park in search of white rhinos and elusive leopards. Cruise along Lake Naivasha on a boat ride past hippos and brightly colored flamingos. Explore perhaps the most famous ecosystem in the world and observe one of the greatest spectacles of the natural world: The Masai Mara’s Great Migration. Watch as millions of wildebeest and zebra crossing a crocodile-infested river on their annual journey through the savannah. You’ll even have the option to soar above the action in a sunrise balloon ride over the African plains before heading home with memories to last a lifetime.

Temporary changes due to COVID-security measures. Last updated: 29th December 2020 

At Exodus we acknowledge our responsibility to have the most up to date information on anything that will affect our customers on holiday, and to communicate this to our customers as effectively as possible.

Our general global COVID security measures are described in our Travel Safety Charter, and changes will be made to these measures as required by the global pandemic situation.

However, we also expect there to be specific requirements, measures and sometimes itinerary changes that apply to certain trips only, and may well be temporary measures. We have highlighted all known changes in the section below. 

Entry requirements.

For all trips, having the correct documentation and visa, if required, remains the customer’s responsibility based on their own nationality. We therefore encourage all travellers to check entry requirements using the travel advice of their home nation for the relevant destination. For UK passport holders that is https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

In order to meet the new immigration requirements for Kenya you should note the following: 

• All travellers must carry evidence of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 96 hours of flying.
• Travellers arriving from the UK are not required to enter mandatory quarantine for 14 days, as long as they have a negative COVID-19 test.
• The negative COVID-19 test must be a negative PCR test result. Travellers with a negative rapid test result will still need to enter mandatory or voluntary quarantine for 14 days, depending on the Kenyan authorities’ assessment on the traveller’s ability to quarantine.
• All travellers will be screened on arrival; anyone displaying symptoms of COVID-19 will be required to quarantine in the place they are staying for the first 14 days of their stay and observe Government of Kenya protocols as directed. Passengers travelling in the 2 rows surrounding the person displaying symptoms will be traced and required to quarantine for 14 days.

All travellers arriving in Kenya must complete a COVID-19 Travellers Health Surveillance Form prior to travel. After submitting the form, travellers will receive a QR code which must be presented to port health officials for them to be allowed to proceed to arrival immigration.

Local COVID restrictions

Local regulations or guidelines in Kenya require visitors to:

• Wear non-medical face coverings at all times in public areas and on transport when social distancing is not possible.
• Maintain social distancing where possible, at a standard distance of 1.5 metres
• Adhere to nationwide curfew during the hours of 10pm – 4am and stay indoors. 

Your leader will reconfirm the latest local government advice and requirements on arrival.

Itinerary changes

There are no planned itinerary changes. However, customers should be prepared for occasional short notice changes as required by local authorities or recommended by the Exodus Leader to maintain COVID-security for the group.
