Use a Kenya eSIM for instant travel data
With awe-inspiring landscapes, adventurous safaris, and rich wildlife to admire, Kenya is a bucket-list destination for many travellers.
While you’re in Kenya, it’s important to stay connected … and relying on your data plan from home can be extremely expensive.
Luckily, a Kenya eSIM will connect your phone to a local network, giving you affordable prepaid mobile data during your trip.
How much travel data do I need with my Kenya eSIM?
Your data requirements in Kenya largely depend on your travel plans and personal usage. If you plan on enjoying the tropical outdoors and exploring the pristine beaches, you can’t rely on Wi-Fi availability.
The best thing about a Kenya eSIM is that it comes with flexible data plans, so you can start with a smaller package and top up as needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Will I pay roaming charges with a prepaid eSIM for Kenya?
Not at all. A Kenya eSIM is an affordable option that helps you save on roaming charges. With a Kenya eSIM, you won’t pay any roaming charges because it connects you directly to a local network.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
