zip lock bags in Kenya

Can I use a quart sized ziplock as a liquids bag in Kenya, or will they take that away? Any other tips are welcome. I leave for a 14 day safari with an organized company. I am also going into Tanzania.

We are going to Kenya and Tanzania as well. We are not taking any ziplock plastic bags or any other plastic bags of any sort. There is a risk of a large fine in Kenya if they catch you with plastic bags. Will they check your luggage or backpack? Who knows. I bought a see though 311 bag for any liquids that I will be carrying on in my backpack.

I’ve been to Kenya twice. Once when that babe rule came into effect in 2017 and once last October. I took carry on only when I went last year as laundry could be dine at the lodges. I had my plastic 1 quart ziplock type bag from Heathrow as they will only allow that. They are very picky there.

Anyhow, no one bothered me about the airport security liquids bag in Kenya.
