Hi Guy91,

How much money you take is entirely up to you. Most of your meals are included in the price of your holiday but there are a couple that you will need to budget for. In addition to this you need to consider any optional excursions that you have do not book before leaving the UK (the Dolphin Dhow or Mombasa city tour) and any souvenirs to remind you of your trip.

We would suggest cash is taken in Kenyan shillings but I understand that MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted.

Kindest regards,

Julia

As Julia has said take Kenyan Shillings, I did not take any USD when I went, I always take a credit card with me when I travel, don't forget to inform the company that you are going abroad and going to Kenya. In the wood workshop that you visit this is the best place to buy the local wood carving etc, they did like English sterling money, I think they get a good exchange rate for it????...

It's a great tour to do I hope you have fun, if you need to know anything else just ask.
