  2. Kiribati

    FAQ

    Before
    Barely. A couple of hotels on South Tarawa take cards, ATMs are scarce and unreliable, and the outer islands have no banking. Kiribati uses the Australian dollar, so bring cash in AUD and budget for the whole trip in advance.
    After
    Barely. The UK government says very few places accept credit cards, and ATMs are found at Bank of Kiribati and ANZ branches in Betio, Bairiki and Bikenibeu on Tarawa. Kiribati uses the Australian dollar, so bring cash in AUD and budget for the whole trip in advance.

  3. Kiribati

    FAQ

    Before
    Your entry permission covers the country, but travel to the outer islands is limited by transport rather than paperwork, and the Phoenix Islands Protected Area needs a permit from the responsible ministry. Kiritimati (Christmas Island) in the Line Islands has its own international flights and its own time zone. Plan it as a separate leg from Tarawa, not a day trip.

  4. Kiribati

    Tip

    Before
    Do not drink tap or well water. Use bottled, boiled or treated water, including for brushing teeth. Equatorial sun on a treeless atoll is fierce even on cloudy days, so plan for shade, high-factor sunscreen and far more water than you think you need.
    After
    Equatorial sun on an atoll is fierce even on cloudy days, so plan for shade, high-factor sunscreen and plenty of drinking water.

  5. Kiribati

    Tip

    Before
    Kiribati spans three time zones across 3,000 km — Tarawa and the Gilberts are UTC+12, the Phoenix Islands UTC+13 and the Line Islands, including Kiritimati, UTC+14, the earliest time zone on earth. Check which group your flight lands in before you calculate a connection.

  6. Kiribati

    Tip

    Before
    Tarawa is served by only a few international flights a week, mainly from Nadi and Brisbane via Nauru, and cancellations cascade. Leave two or three buffer days before any onward international connection, and never book a same-day connection out of Fiji.
    After
    International flights are few, so leave buffer days before any onward international connection.

  7. Kiribati

    Tip

    Before
    Medical facilities are very limited. Tungaru Central Hospital handles basic emergencies; anything beyond that requires evacuation to Fiji or Australia, which depends on flight availability. Carry a full personal medical kit and any prescription drugs you need, plus a copy of the prescription.
    After
    The UK government says medical facilities at the general hospital in Tarawa are modest and that any non-basic treatment usually means medical evacuation. Carry your own medicines with a copy of the prescription, and insurance that covers evacuation by air ambulance.

  8. Kiribati

    Tip

    Before
    Treat Kiribati as a cash-only country. Bring Australian dollars for the entire stay including the departure taxes and any boat charter. A card that fails on South Tarawa cannot be rescued, and there is no banking at all on most outer islands.
    After
    Bring enough cash for the whole stay. The UK government says very few places accept credit cards and that ATMs are found only at bank branches in Betio, Bairiki and Bikenibeu on Tarawa.

    Best time to visit

    Before

  11. Kiribati

The Government of Canada says Kenya's two rainy seasons usually run from October to November and from March to mid-June, varying from year to year, and that seasonal flooding can hamper overland travel.

    bestTimeToVisit.text

    Before
    July to October is the dry season and peak safari time — the Great Migration crosses the Maasai Mara roughly July to October. January to February is a second dry window, good for wildlife and the coast.
    After
    No official source gives a best season. The Government of Canada says Kenya's two rainy seasons usually run from October to November and from March to mid-June, varying from year to year, and that seasonal flooding, flash floods and mudslides can hamper overland travel.

  18. Kenya

    payments.text

    Before
    Kenya is a mobile-money country: M-Pesa dominates daily payments everywhere, from market stalls to taxis. Cards work in Nairobi and Mombasa hotels, malls and lodges; carry some shilling cash for small purchases and rural areas, or set up M-Pesa with a local SIM.
    After
    The Government of Canada says credit cards are widely accepted in major cities and popular tourist destinations but not in remote locations, and that ATMs are widely available in cities. M-PESA mobile money is a common form of payment accepted across Kenya, including at national parks, which do not accept cash: they generally take credit cards, but at times only M-PESA works.
