About eSIMs in Kenya
Choose a Kenya eSIM for mobile data during your trip, with options for short visits and longer stays. Plans are available for 1 to 30 days, including unlimited data options.
Coverage & networks
The eSIM connects to Safaricom’s 4G network in Kenya. It provides data access only, so calls and texts are not included in the plan.
How much data you need
Available data allowances range from 0.1GB to 10GB, with unlimited data options also available. For light use such as messaging and occasional maps, a smaller allowance may be suitable. If you expect to stream, share photos or use your phone regularly, consider a larger allowance or an unlimited plan. You can top up your eSIM if you need more data during your trip.
Setting it up
Select a plan for the length of your stay, install the eSIM on your compatible device and follow the activation instructions. Available durations include 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 30 days.
