The local currency in Kenya is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). Credit cards are generally accepted in larger cities and tourist facilities; however, it is advisable to bring cash for smaller shops or markets. ATMs are available in cities, but bring a small amount of cash for rural areas where they may not be available.

Before traveling to Kenya, you should have a vaccination certificate, especially for yellow fever and other recommended vaccinations such as hepatitis A and tetanus. Travel health insurance is also very important to be covered in case of an emergency. Also check the current travel advisories and recommendations from your healthcare provider for Kenya before departure.

Bring your passport for registration, as this is required. Prices are very affordable, and you can choose various data packages to be online at any time.
