The best arrival time depends on what you booked. Tafaria's general opening hours are 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., but tours, activities, meals, room check-in and organised programmes have their own practical timing.

Day visitors

Arriving earlier in the day gives you more flexibility to combine a tour, meal and leisure activity without rushing. If the visit is built around one activity, ask Tafaria what arrival time supports that experience best.

A group using the Immersion ticket should allow enough uninterrupted time for the guided elements rather than arriving late and trying to compress several tours.

Overnight guests and organised groups

For accommodation, conferences, schools and weddings, use the arrival time on the booking or itinerary. If it is not stated, ask before travel rather than assuming that the general property opening hours are the check-in time.

When coming from Nairobi or another distant point, build in a road buffer. Starting the visit calmly is more valuable than scheduling every minute of the first hour.
