You have the possibility to book your Kenya round trip both with and without included flight. If necessary, you can easily request your flights for the round trip via WhatsApp and we will send you a personal offer. All our selected flights are operated by renowned airlines. For a flight from/to Germany you can also book our "train to flight" offer.

German citizens need a visa for entry. This can be applied for here.

In addition to the standard vaccinations according to the RKI, travel vaccinations against hepatitis A, poliomyelitis and yellow fever, and for long-term stays or special exposure also against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and meningococcal disease (ACWY) are recommended. Malaria is transmitted by crepuscular and nocturnal Anopheles mosquitoes. There is a high risk of malaria throughout the country below 2,500 m altitude. Plasmodium falciparum (causative agent of malaria tropica) is detected in approximately 99 % of cases. In Nairobi there are only very rare isolated cases. To avoid malaria, protect yourself consistently from insect bites as part of exposure prophylaxis. Depending on the travel profile, in addition to the necessary exposure prophylaxis, chemoprophylaxis (taking tablets) is also advisable. Various prescription drugs (e.g. atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, mefloquine) are available on the German market for this purpose. Discuss the choice of medication and its personal adaptation as well as side effects or incompatibilities with other medications with a tropical medicine doctor or travel physician before taking it. It is recommended to take a sufficient supply with you.

Please note that the itinerary, activities and hotels may be subject to change.
