    RELATED FAQS ABOUT 3 Days Premium Samburu Gentle Wilderness Journey

    1. Is the safari suitable for travellers over 65?

    Yes. Age alone does not prevent participation. Guests should consider their general health, ability to enter the vehicle and comfort with a six-to-seven-hour road transfer.

    2. Can the schedule be adjusted?

    Reasonable adjustments can be made to wake-up times, rest periods and game-drive length, provided they respect reserve hours, lodge operations and the overall itinerary.

    3. Is luggage assistance available?

    Yes. The guide and lodge staff can assist with normal luggage. Guests should avoid very heavy bags or equipment requiring specialised lifting.

    4. Are accessible rooms available?

    Some premium properties offer ground-floor rooms, convenient locations or reduced-step access. Availability must be confirmed before booking because not all lodges are fully accessible.

    5. Can guests carry medication?

    Yes. Essential medication should remain in hand luggage and stay with the traveller. Guests should carry enough medicine for the complete journey and relevant prescriptions.

    6. Is medical care available nearby?

    Basic support may be available in the wider region, but advanced care may require transfer to a larger facility. Comprehensive travel and emergency medical insurance are recommended.

    7. Are Samburu roads rough?

    Some reserve tracks can be uneven, dusty or muddy depending on weather. The guide will drive carefully, but guests with serious back, neck or joint problems should discuss them before booking.

    8. Can dietary needs be managed?

    Most premium lodges can prepare common dietary requests when informed early. Serious allergies and medical diets should be submitted in writing.

    9. Can a caregiver travel with the guest?

    Yes. A family member, friend or caregiver may join. Suitable room arrangements, vehicle seating and additional assistance should be confirmed before travel.

    10. Can we fly instead of driving?

    Yes. A fly-in Samburu safari may reduce road travel. Scheduled flight times, baggage restrictions and airstrip transfers will apply.
