Local Tips
The local currency is the Kenyan shilling (KES), though Traveloka displays and books hotel rates in USD. Uber and Bolt both operate in Kenya, though coverage in a smaller town like Nanyuki can be more limited than in Nairobi. Kenya's emergency number is 999 (112 also works).
Entry Requirements Note
Kenya requires visitors to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) in advance, a system introduced in 2024. Requirements vary by nationality and can change, so always confirm current rules before booking.
Best Time to Visit
The dry seasons, June through October and December through March, generally offer the most reliable weather for outdoor activities. The rainy seasons (April-May and November) bring lusher landscapes but can disrupt travel plans.
