🇰🇪 Kenya for 🇳🇪 NE citizens

Kenya bans plastic bags (including in tourist luggage). Pack reusable cloth bags and avoid bringing plastic carrier bags to save yourself hassle on arrival.

Set up M-Pesa early (Safaricom): it’s widely used for day-to-day payments, and some park gates require advance payment or payment via M-Pesa—super handy for both travel and logistics.

For city rides, app-based services (like Bolt/Uber where available) show the fare upfront; for taxis/tuktuks, negotiate the price before you ride so you don’t overpay.
