By: Chimdindu Ken-Anaukwu
Planning a trip to Kenya? Here’s a quick guide to make your adventure smooth and stress-free:
1. Visas and Vaccines:
Don’t skip the prep! Check if you need a visa and make sure your yellow fever vaccine is up to date. Malaria meds? Pack those too.
2. Money Matters:
The Kenyan Shilling (KES) is king, but mobile money (M-Pesa) is everywhere. Carry some cash, but cards work in most cities.

4. Local Vibes:
A friendly “Jambo” (hello) or “Asante” (thanks) goes a long way. Kenyans love it when you try Swahili.
5. Stay Safe:
Stick to well-lit areas at night and use trusted transport. It’s all about being smart, not scared.
Kenya’s ready for you—soak it all in, one unforgettable moment at a time!
