What vaccinations are mandatory for traveling to Kenya?

Traveling to Kenya requires you to present a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you come from an endemic country or have transited through one. All individuals over one year old must have this certificate, especially if you plan an itinerary that includes other African countries.

It is essential to visit an international vaccination center well in advance to receive medical advice on the necessary vaccines for your trip to Kenya. The following vaccines are recommended: yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, polio, tetanus-diphtheria, and meningococcal disease. Likewise, it is advised to take preventive measures against malaria and receive the rabies vaccine if physical contact with wild animals is anticipated.

What is the best time of year to visit Kenya?

The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season, from June to October. These months are the best for viewing wildlife. The wildebeest migration generally arrives at the Masai Mara National Reserve around September and stays until October, when they return to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Wildlife viewing is good year-round, but this can vary by park.

The rainy season in Kenya is from March to May and from November to December. During the rainy season, some accommodations in high-rainfall areas may close.
