Unless you have been in India during the months of May-June, you won't be able to fathom how overwhelming the subcontinental summer can be. Well, it has been more than a month since I published my last travel story on backpacking Sri Lanka. Due to some pending professional dilemma I've been in a state of complete psychological inaction, and it would be grossly unfair to shift the blame on ruthless summer for my blogging ceasefire. Although I could not unite my patience and determination to pen down travel blogs, I could intermittently research on upcoming travel destinations. One of my friends, a wildlife enthusiast, keeps traveling to Africa, and I tell you, his casual Instagram photos can turn any backpacker Africa-minded. After a brief research, I found Kenya to be the easiest wildlife-hub to visit among other east-African countries, especially for an Indian traveler.
Reasons being- cheaper flights, ease of e-visa and availability of abundant group departures for safari from Nairobi. Apart from these routine stuffs, one needs to carry a yellow fever vaccination as well as an oral polio vaccination certificate in his travel pouch to pass the immigration with a smile. Health being my domain, I did a thorough study on the significance of these vaccinations before taking a prick myself. Do not confuse yellow fever vaccination certificate with other immigration formalities which often lack logic. Yellow fever vaccination is carried out to prevent the international spread of the disease by safeguarding countries from the risk of importing or spreading the virus. Sounds confusing? Wait, I'll give you a basic idea of yellow fever as a notorious disease, its easy vaccination option, target group, a bit of polio, my personal experience of getting vaccinated, and finally documentations needed for international travelers.
