Entry Requirements & Travel Visas
| Package: | Kenya Wildlife Safari |
Travelers to Kenya must have a passport and visas for entry. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the return date of travel and must contain at least 3 blank pages for visa and immigration stamps. U.S. passport holders can obtain a Kenya visa upon arrival, but they are not guaranteed, may be required to be paid for in USD (cash) and may experience delays. We strongly suggest obtaining your visa before departure. For fast and easy visa processing, we recommend our preferred provider, VisaHQ. More information is available from the Embassy of Kenya. Please be advised, Friendly Planet will send you a Visa Support Letter(s) and e-ticket(s) via email 60 days prior to departure (provided your final payment has been received and we have a legible copy of your passport). Please do not apply for your visa until you receive both the Visa Support Letter and e-ticket.

General Requirements & Guidelines
Advice from Friendly Planet
- In general, you must have a passport to travel abroad, which should be valid for at least six months after your return date. Passports expiring before then should be renewed as soon as possible. Passports contain at least 2 blank pages for each country visited. If your passport does not have this many pages, obtain a new passport as soon as possible.
- If your passport and visa are not in order, airlines and cruise ships may deny boarding, countries may deny entry, and your trip may be disrupted. Travel insurance may not cover such losses.
- Any changes in names or passport information should be reported to us immediately. Airlines and cruise ships may deny boarding if the name on your passport does not match your tickets.
- Minors (age 17 or younger) departing and/or returning to the U.S. without parents or with only one parent may be required by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) to present a notarized parental consent letter and/or unabridged birth certificate (more information). Many other countries have similar entry requirements, especially for minors traveling with a parent/guardian with a different surname; check with the consulates of all countries you'll be visiting to learn more.
