✈️ 1. Valid Passport and Visa – A Must for Your Travel Checklist for Kenya

Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your arrival date, with at least two blank pages. Travelers from most countries need to apply for an e-visa via the eCitizen Kenya portal. Ensure your visa is approved before your departure.

It’s best to consult a travel clinic a few weeks before your trip.

💳 3. Money, Cards & SIM – Prepare to Stay Connected

Kenya’s currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). It’s advisable to carry a mix of cash and card. Inform your bank about your travel dates to avoid card blocks.
