Travelling to Kenya?

Everything you need for Kenya, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

The Mara migration is real and it is seasonal: turn up in the wrong month and you get grass. Kenya also has Lamu, Rift Valley lakes full of flamingos, and a coast that most people never get to because the animals take the whole trip.

Travel notes for Kenya

KE / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

With 5 neighbours sharing a border, Kenya lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Kenya sits close enough to the equator that the year is measured in rain, not seasons. The dry stretch is the comfortable one for moving around. The wet one doesn’t cancel the trip, but it does soak it.

MONEY

Paying your way

Keep the trip money in a separate account from your everyday one, with only what you plan to spend in it. If a card gets cloned, you lose a week’s budget and a phone call, not everything you have.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Passport validity is the silliest thing that ruins trips, and the most common: plenty of countries want months left on it, not days, and it gets checked at the airline desk, not on arrival. Look at it today, not the week you fly.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

The translator’s camera is the tool people use most and mention least: point it at a menu, a sign or a ticket and read it. It works better with data, which is where an eSIM earns its keep far more than it does in your photos.

KE / FAQ

Do I need a visa for Kenya?

Entry rules for Kenya depend on your nationality. Check yours in 10 seconds, and if you do need a visa, the application is fully online.

Will my phone work in Kenya?

Yes. With a Kenya travel eSIM your phone connects to local networks directly: no roaming charges, and you keep your number and WhatsApp as always.

How much does mobile data cost in Kenya?

Data packs start at €4.99 and unlimited plans from €6.67 per day, depending on trip length. Every plan includes hotspot and instant email delivery.

When should I buy my Kenya eSIM?

Any time before you fly. It installs in 2 minutes and stays dormant: it only activates when you connect to a network in Kenya, so buying early costs nothing.
