Your Journey, Step by Step
Mobile Connectivity & SIM Cards
Staying connected during your safari is super easy in Kenya. The best mobile provider is Safaricom, which offers strong coverage even in remote safari areas like Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
When you arrive at Nairobi airport, our team will help you:
- Buy a Safaricom SIM card (approx. KES 200–300)

Pro tip: Make sure your phone is unlocked for international SIMs.
Currency, Exchange & Payments
The official currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). While some big hotels accept USD, you’ll need local cash for:
- Shopping at markets
- Paying small tips

We recommend exchanging money at Nairobi airport after arrival, where you’ll get decent rates. You can also withdraw cash from ATMs in Nairobi (Visa & MasterCard work fine), but ATMs are not available in places like Masai Mara.
- $1 ≈ 130–140 KES (always check rates)

- Credit cards work in hotels & malls but may add 3–5% charges
Pro tip: Apps like XE Currency help you track exchange rates easily.

Safety & Wildlife Etiquette
