Kenya eSIM travel guide

Kenya's main mobile networks are Safaricom and Airtel. Travel eSIMs connect through one or more of them, so coverage is usually good in cities and tourist areas and weaker in remote regions.

Fixed data plans are the cheapest choice for maps, messaging and browsing. If you use more than about 1.5 GB a day, compare the unlimited passes above.
