It’s 31st May, just over 3 weeks before we depart, and our Tickets have arrived, we are now getting excited.

The pack consists of:

  • A Magical Kenia canvas bag
    • A nice bag and useful as you can’t use plastic bags in Kenya.
  • A Somak Holidays wallet
    • Useful to keep our Tickets and documents in.
  • Somak Holidays Essential Holiday Information booklet –
    • Tells me to see my GP 8 weeks before travel, but they don’t send it to me until 3 weeks before travel.
    • Talks about film for cameras, and travelers cheques, how long ago was this written?
  • Somak Baggage Labels
    • We are advised to use these as they will help Somak find us at the airport and will enable them to identify our luggage during the holiday.
  • Somak Hotel, Holiday, and Extras Vouchers
    • These evidently need to be handed in at the places we stay / visit.
  • Airline Itinerary
    • Basic details of what flights we are taking with which airlines and when.
  • ETKT Itinerary/Receipt
    • Although this is printed and says it may be required at check-in evidently this is an Electronic ticket.
    • We have one of these for each person in our party.
    • Information on here includes the Airline booking locator which is a 6-digit code. By putting this code and my surname into the Kenya Airways app or web site I can see the flights, select my seats, upgrade, select any special meals and will be able to Check-in electronically a day before the departure date. However, it doesn’t look like I can use an electronic boarding pass and will have to print boarding cards. See our section on flying to Kenya.
  • Holiday Itinerary
    • This give a full list of where we should and when we should be there.
  • 2 Kenyan Bracelets.
