The (almost) 5-star eSIM
The eSIM was very easy to install and, once I reached my destination, I had a connection from the very first moment without having to worry about roaming.
Activation was quick and simple, and I had a connection the whole time with no hassle. Coverage and speed were very good.
I went on a trip around Latin America and had coverage everywhere, at a very good price. Highly recommended 💪🏼

More about the Kenya eSIM
eSIM for Kenya: internet without roaming
Traveling to Kenya with an eSIM means landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi with data already working, without hunting for a store or swapping your physical SIM card. Our eSIM connects to the country's main networks, Safaricom and Airtel Kenya, which offer the best 4G coverage in cities and on routes to the parks. You install the plan before leaving home and arrive connected to order an Uber, open the map, or let people know you've landed.
Roaming in Kenya: why an eSIM makes sense
Kenya is not part of the European Union, so there's no "roam like at home" here. Using your home plan's data while roaming can cost you between 10 and 15 € per day, or skyrocket per megabyte if your carrier doesn't include a bundle. With a data eSIM you pay one fixed price for the whole trip and forget about bill shock when you get back. It's the simplest way to have internet in Kenya while keeping your spending in check from the very first minute.
How much does an eSIM for Kenya cost?
You choose the GB based on how many days you're staying and how you use your phone. For a short trip with maps, messaging, and some social media, 1 or 3 GB is usually enough. If you're on a long safari, uploading photos and videos, or tethering, aim for 5 GB or more. Compared to roaming in Kenya, any of these prices works out much cheaper. You can see other options at all destinations if you're combining Kenya with another country.
eSIM vs. physical SIM in Kenya
The local Safaricom SIM card is popular, but buying one means registering your passport at a physical store, waiting in line, and activating the line when you arrive. The eSIM is fully digital: no plastic, and you don't lose your usual number, which stays active to receive bank SMS. Plus, if you're searching for a "SIM card Kenya" for data, the eSIM gives you the same thing without the paperwork and ready before you take off.
Does the eSIM work in Nairobi, Mombasa, or the Maasai Mara?
Yes. Safaricom and Airtel coverage is solid in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret, with stable 4G in urban and tourist areas. In reserves like the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, or Amboseli, the signal depends on the exact spot — normal in the middle of the savannah — but near camps and lodges you usually have enough data for maps and messaging.
How do you activate the Kenya eSIM?
When you buy it, you receive a QR code by email. Scan it from your phone's settings, enable data roaming for that profile, and you're done. You can install it calmly at home using your Wi-Fi and set it to activate when you land in Kenya. If it's your first time, follow our step-by-step eSIM guide and you'll have internet in Kenya in just a couple of minutes.
