Excellent suggestions already made. We have been to Kenya several times, in Nairobi and in the western villages, as well as at safari camps. Where in Kenya will you be, and with what company? Several provide toiletries,notebooks and pens. Some also have free laundry service. I'd recommend modest dress, with longer shorts or capris and shirts over tank tops. Have something warm for early morning game drives. Kenyans are very modest and the only people wearing shorts and sleeveless tops are clearly tourists. My husband, in shorts and Birkenstocks, was an entertaining Muzungu (white person) for the children. Our luggage was the most lightweight barrel bags we could find. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
