Visas
All visitors traveling to Kenya must obtain a visa.  This costs £35.00 (US$50) and can be obtained via a travel agent (e.g. Trailfinders or Thames Consular services 02074944957) or the Kenya High Commission (Tel: 020 7636 2371/5), or on arrival at JK Airport in Nairobi (this is a very quick and efficient service). 

Inoculations
For visitors to Kenya from UK no immunisations are required by law, however, it is a good idea to take precautions. Yellow fever is mandatory if returning to the USA, Australia and some European countries (Consult your GP for more information).

Kenya is a malarial affected area so we advise you consult your GP in regards to whether you would like to take anti-malarial's or homeopathy alternatives before coming out.

Vaccines generally recommended for Kenya are: Diphtheria and Tetanus, Polio, Typhoid, Yellow fever, and Rabies.

Please consult your GP for information on all of the above.  A good website for travel health info is:  www.mdtravelhealth.com
