What is inside

What the kit covers

Everything we would tell you in a first planning call, written down: the decision order, a month-by-month table, realistic budget ranges, a packing list and the questions to ask before you book anything.

  • The six decisions, in the order that actually works
  • A month-by-month table: weather, wildlife, crowds and price
  • Indicative budget ranges per person per night, and what each buys
  • Reserve versus conservancy, compared line by line
  • How many nights each shape of trip really needs
  • The light-aircraft packing list, with the 15kg baggage limit in mind
  • Twelve questions to ask any agency before you pay a deposit
  • A one-page worksheet to fill in before you enquire anywhere

No cost, no obligation. We ask for an email so we can send it and, if you want it, follow up once.

How it works

Three steps, about four minutes

Fill in the form

Dates and budget are optional here — if you only want the kit, name and email are enough.

Read the kit

It opens in your browser immediately and prints cleanly to PDF if you would rather have a file.

Ask us anything

If you told us your dates, our Kenya specialist follows up within 24 hours with a tailored outline. If you did not, we send the kit and leave you alone.

About the download

Is it really free?

Yes. No payment, no card, no trial. We publish it because people who plan well are better to work with, and because some of them come back to us when they are ready.

Will you spam me?

No. If you give us dates, our specialist sends one tailored follow-up. If you do not, you get the kit and nothing else unless you ask. Every email has an unsubscribe link and we do not sell or share your details.

Do I have to book with you to use it?

No. The kit is written to be useful even if you plan the whole trip yourself or book elsewhere. It would be a poor advertisement if it were not.
