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.

I'm a bit confused. Going to Kenya in August.
If I bring liquids in my carry-on in a quart-size ziplock bag, is that okay or not okay?
Is a clear plastic or vinyl pouch (clearly not intended to be thrown away) permitted?
Or do you have to take your liquids out of the 3-1-1 bag and toss it before you arrive?

Someone mentioned Tanzania. We went to Tanzania last summer on safari. My husband is on a feeding tube and cannot eat anything by mouth. He filled his checked suitcase with ziplock bags full of powder Ensure for his meals. No-one checked the checked bags.
