Kenya Travel Visa

U.S. citizens must have a passport with at least two blank pages, six months’ validity, and a visa is required to enter Kenya. Be sure to visit the U.S. State Department website for the latest travel advisories related to Kenya. And it’s always important when traveling abroad to understand the health and vaccination protocols outlined by the Centers for Disease Control.

The Swahili word “safari” literally means to journey. Most tourists journey to Kenya to witness the “Big Five” in their natural habitat. Lions, leopards, elephants, Cape buffalo, and the rhinoceros make up the traditional Big Five game animals. Kenya has a varying climate, which often dictates a varying wardrobe. Pack accordingly depending on your location. Kenya has a warm and humid tropical climate on its Indian Ocean coastline, with a hot and dry climate in the savannah grasslands. It can be especially cool near Mount Kenya, which has snow permanently on its peaks.
