Do I need to install a new eSIM for Kenya if I already have eSIM BFF?
No. If you already installed eSIM BFF on a previous trip, just buy a Kenya package in your dashboard. It attaches to the eSIM you already have and works as soon as you land.
Does the Kenya eSIM include a phone number?
It is a data-only eSIM. Your normal number keeps working for calls and SMS through your home SIM, and apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime and Telegram work over the eSIM data. This keeps prices low and setup simple.
Can I use hotspot with the Kenya eSIM?
Yes. Tethering is included on every plan, so you can share your Kenya data with a laptop or a travel partner.
When should I buy my Kenya eSIM?
Buy it before you fly and install it on Wi-Fi at home. The 30-day validity only starts when your phone first connects to a network in Kenya, so buying early costs nothing.
What is the best eSIM for Kenya?
The best Kenya eSIM for most travelers is a prepaid data plan on Safaricom and Airtel that you install once and can top up later. eSIM BFF is built for that: 5 GB is UAH 409.86 (tax included), hotspot is on, and the same profile takes the next country. Airalo and Holafly also cover Kenya — Airalo is usually a new country eSIM, Holafly is priced per day. Pick BFF if you want one profile and a GB price; pick Holafly if you truly need unlimited.
