Upon arrival, if you have a plastic bag containing duty free items, we advise that you exchange the bags with a woven one provided on board and give the attendants your plastic bag for disposal. 

In addition to the plastic bags, plastic bottles have also been banned at Nairobi National Park, Karura Forest and any other parks.
