Safari tips:

Protective sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, lip balm. Insect repellent (possibly tropical version, should be applied approximately every 6-8 hours).
Clothing should be comfortable, bring long changes for the evening and early morning, t-shirts and shorts for the day, but remember to bring several changes because the red earth of the savannah can be annoying. It is also reminiscent of a swimsuit because in the accommodation there is often a swimming pool and comfortable shoes (possibly old and not white so as not to risk staining them). Also important are essential medicines, including painkillers for common headaches, drugs for dysentery, paracetamol and eye drops for possible soil in the eyes. Adapter for ENGLISH type power socket and power bank. Camera and, if you want to make sure you see animals even from a distance, binoculars. REMEMBER: the drone in Kenya is banned.
