A yellow fever vaccination is required for travelers coming into Kenya from endemic countries.

Malaria is prevalent in certain parts of Kenya, and all visitors should consult their doctor and take the currently effective prophylactic prescribed. In addition, other personal protective measures, such as the use of insect repellent, covering arms and legs after dusk and avoiding the use of scented products can help to reduce the risk of malaria.

It is suggested that you bring a smaller traveler’s kit with remedies for minor stomach ailments or motion sickness. You should include an adequate supply (in your hand luggage) of any prescribed medication you may require while traveling.

We do recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover you in the event of a medical emergency.
