Make sure it has a mirror on it... so you can see who is lost!
I have a S.hemisphere compass and am trying to use it in the UK, it is about 15-20 degrees out, sometimes 180 degrees wrong!
Incidently, Kenya is in both hemispheres so is both North and South!
You can contact Silva directly and ask them for information re buying a compass or you can buy one from a shop in the country you are visiting, such as Rhino Leisure & Safari that specialises in this sort of thing

p.s. the mirror can also be used for signalling.
