I might be sticking my bib in here ?? when I went to Kenya Safari, I had the usual hand luggage on the plane ie back pack type of thing, then I had 2 peices of luggage in the aircraft hold. 1 proper suitcase that could weigh up to 20 kg, and then the soft sided (large sports holdall) with safari gear in that could weigh 20 kgs. Has this changes now ?? I was flying direct from LHR, so not sure where DI is flying from if internally then SORRY DI it is one bag =20 kgs in the hold IE both bags into one suitcase. You only take the soft holdall bag in the jeeps the other suitcase gets taken of you and goes direct to 2nd hotel.
As for clothes I went October and it was very,very,hot and humid so cool clothes for the evening was a MUST!!!
Take Kenyan Shillings, allthough the locals in the market shop do like English STerling.
Have a great trip DI.
