Do I need any vaccinations to travel to Kenya?
Yes, a Yellow Fever Vaccination is mandatory for entry into Kenya. Your doctor must also sign your medical form to confirm this prior to travel.
Do Australian passport holders need a visa to enter Kenya?
No, Australian passport holders no longer need a traditional visa to enter Kenya. However, you must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) online prior to your trip.
Are golf carts available at golf courses in Kenya?
Most golf courses in Kenya are walking-only courses. Golf carts can be arranged but are subject to availability, so it’s best to request one in advance if required.
Is travel insurance required for the Kenya Golf & Safari Tour?
Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for this tour. Please ensure you purchase comprehensive cover and send a copy to the Golf Journeys team prior to departure.
What type of power sockets are used in Kenya?
Kenya uses Type G power sockets, which are the same as those used in the United Kingdom. The voltage in Kenya is 240V with a frequency of 50Hz. If you are travelling from Australia, your devices will typically work fine since Australia also operates on 230-240V/50Hz. However, you will need a Type G adapter to fit Kenyan outlets. Many safari lodges and hotels do provide universal outlets or USB charging ports, but it is strongly recommended to bring your own adapter to ensure you are always able to charge your devices.
Is there a flexible payment plan for Kenya?
Yes, there is a flexible payment plan for the Kenya Golf & Safari Tour. To secure your spot, you’ll pay an initial A$500 deposit. A second instalment of A$3,000 per person is due on 1 September 2025, followed by a third instalment of A$3,000 per person on 1 March 2026. The remaining balance is due by 1 June 2026, giving you plenty of time to comfortably manage your payments.
When should I book to secure my spot?
Golf Journeys tours often sell out well in advance. Book early to avoid missing out on your preferred destination and travel dates.
What makes this tour different from other golf holidays?
We combine world-class golf with cultural immersion, luxury accommodation, and a community of like-minded travelers. It’s more than golf—it’s an experience.
Who are these tours designed for?
Whether you're traveling solo, with a partner, or with friends, our tours cater to passionate golfers (and non-golfing companions) who enjoy comfort, connection, and curated experiences.
What’s included in the tour package?
Expect world-class golf, premium hotels, curated dining, transfers, and local experiences—all organized so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
Do I need to be a low-handicap golfer to join?
Not at all! Our tours welcome golfers of all levels. We focus on fun, camaraderie, and unforgettable rounds—no matter what your handicap is.
Can I come alone? Will I fit in?
Absolutely. Many guests travel solo and quickly make friends. We foster a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome.
What if my partner doesn't play golf?
No problem. Many partners join to relax, explore, and enjoy the destinations. We also offer optional non-golf activities.
What’s a typical day on tour like?
Mornings often begin with either a leisurely breakfast and activity followed by a round of golf, or mid-morning tee-off times followed by afternoons at leisure or exploring local attractions. Evenings may feature group dinners or social events.
How much golf is included?
Most tours include 2 rounds in a row followed by a leisure day in-between—perfect for sightseeing or relaxing. This balance keeps things enjoyable, but you’re always welcome to add more golf if you prefer.
Is there a flexible payment plan available?
Yes, we offer a flexible payment plan for our tours and events. You only need to pay an initial A$500 deposit upfront to secure your spot.
