Helpful information about visiting Kenya and the vaccinations recommended before your trip.
Yellow fever vaccination may be needed depending on your travel route and country of departure. It is also widely recommended for Kenya, and a valid certificate may be requested on arrival.
Antimalarial medication is advised for most safari regions such as Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo. Risk is low only in Nairobi and higher-altitude areas, and medication is prescribed based on your itinerary.
Vaccinations are best started 6–8 weeks before travel to allow full protection. If yellow fever is required, it must be given at least 10 days before entry.
Rabies vaccination is recommended for safari travel due to possible contact with animals in rural areas, camps, or villages, even if most time is spent in vehicles.
Costs depend on the vaccines required. Some may be available on the NHS, while others such as yellow fever are private. A full cost summary is provided before treatment.
Most vaccines can be administered in a single appointment, but rabies requires multiple doses over several weeks, so early booking is recommended.
