Read guide →QHow much does a Kenya eSIM cost in 2026?
AA Kenya travel eSIM starts at a few dollars for a few GB and runs to about US$16 for 5 GB and US$29 for 10 GB. There is no true-unlimited Kenya plan, but Day Pass plans with a daily high-speed allowance start around US$13 for three days. For a week, 3–5 GB covers maps and WhatsApp and 10 GB covers daily photo uploads and video calls. All of it is far cheaper than US carrier roaming, which can run US$10–15 per day, and the eSIM installs before you land at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta (JKIA) airport.
Explore our regional and global eSIMs — packages start from the shown price and include coverage for the selected location.
QWhich carrier has the best coverage in Kenya?
ASafaricom has by far the widest coverage in Kenya, including the Rift Valley and much of the countryside, followed by Airtel. A YonoSIM Kenya eSIM rides Safaricom, so you get Safaricom-grade reach without buying a physical SIM.
QWill an eSIM work on safari in the Masai Mara?
ASafaricom reaches most towns and many safari lodges, but signal fades deep in national parks like the Masai Mara and Amboseli. Download offline Google Maps for your route and park before you go, and rely on lodge Wi-Fi for larger uploads.
QCan I keep my home number in Kenya?
AYes. The Kenya eSIM is data-only, so keep your home SIM in the phone with roaming off. Your regular number still receives calls, texts, and two-factor codes while the eSIM handles cheap local data on Safaricom's network.

Data excellent. SMS would have been good :)Easy to install. Great signal great service, great price. Fabulous!!Good as isEverything worked very well. Even we have some restrictions about Esim registration in Turkiye, I could able to use it as soon as I landed in Denmark. And I got all the questions answered in a few minutes. I’ll be using it again and again for sure!설치가 간편하고 빠른 속도와 안정된 접속으로 여행 기간 동안 잘 사용 했어요.Worked well, stable fast. recommendationSafaricom runs Kenya's widest network per the Communications Authority, covering Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, most Rift Valley towns and the safari gateway towns, and it is the network our Kenya plan rides. A small plan handles the city and lodge check-ins, but signal fades deep inside the Masai Mara and Amboseli, so download offline maps for the park and leave big uploads for lodge Wi-Fi.
Our Kenya plans run on Safaricom; traffic exits through Israel. 17 plans, hotspot allowed on every one, activation within 180 days of purchase.
