List for Travel to Kenya from the US

January 2010

 

       (1)   You will need a passport, of course, but be sure it does not expire

               within 6 months of your travel time.

     

          (2)   Visas can be purchased when you enter the country. 

                                 (They cost $25 and you must have cash) 

       (3)   Immunizations:

                     Here is what is recommended: 

                   Check with your doctor or a travel doctor for specific recommendations.

                  -Yellow fever -

                                   (at least 10 days before departure, good for ten years and may be

                                   required to reenter USA)

                  -Hepatitis A -   This is a two dose immunization

                  -Hepatitis B -  This is a 3 dose immunization and the third

                                    dose comes 6 months after the first two.  There is no way

                                    you can get the third dose now but you will be partially

                                    covered at least with the first two.  

                    -Polio-    booster is recommended.

                      -Typhoid-

                       leave the States.  There are choices on this one. Malarone is the one

                                  Earlham College recommends which you start 3 days before departure

                                  and continue 7 days after.  But there are others as well.
