Which networks does the Kenya eSIM use?
The Kenya eSIM connects to Safaricom. No 5G is listed on this plan; expect 4G/LTE.
How much data do I need for a week in Kenya?
About 3.5 GB if you use maps, messaging, socials and photos (our estimate: 0.5 GB a day). Our pick for 7 days is 5 GB · 30 days for $26.99.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Kenya?
For most trips, yes. The lowest daily cost is $0.57 a day (3 GB · 30 days for $16.99). You install it before you fly, your home SIM stays on for calls and texts, and nothing renews. If your home plan charges for roaming, compare its daily rate with this.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Kenya?
Not at the moment. The largest plan is 10 GB · 30 days for $47.99, and you can top up whenever you choose.
Do Kenya plans include a phone number?
No, they're data only. Your home SIM stays on for calls and texts, and messaging apps and internet calls work over the eSIM data.
Can I add data to my Kenya eSIM?
Yes. When you run low, top up from My eSIMs on this site or in the app; the eSIM stays installed.
When does the plan start?
When your phone first connects to a network in the destination, not when you buy. Install it at home on Wi-Fi; the days start counting on arrival.
