Safe arrival

Dear all

Just a quick post to let you know the team have arrived safely into Nairobi and are on the way to Wildebeest Camp their stay for the next two days.

We will send another update later to fill you in on their first day in Kenya!

Pre Departure Info

Dear Team Kenya,

We hope that your preparation and packing is going well!

Just a couple of last-minute tips:

1.  Please remember that your luggage allowance for the main hold is 30kg maximum + 7kg for hand luggage. Please do keep to this allowance. It should be more than enough for all your kit.
2. Please do not to pack any walking boots on the outside of the main hold luggage. They almost certainly won’t arrive still attached, we recommend you wear your boots for the flight to keep them safe (and save on weight in your main bag).
3.  Please also pack a change of underwear, toothbrush (not paste, unless it is less than 100ml) and any other absolute essentials in your hand luggage (i.e. medication, anti-malarial tablets), just in case any main bags go missing on the flight. It is unlikely, but best to be safe.

Keeping in touch:

We have set up this blog for your group, to keep parents and friends up to date with what your team is up to.
