Picture this: a lion pride sprawled across the savannah, elephants marching past your jeep, and the glowing sun sinking behind Mount Kilimanjaro. A safari in Kenya is a dream trip—but U.S. citizens can’t board the plane without an eVisa.
The Kenya eVisa for US citizens is mandatory and must be obtained online before you travel. The application process is straightforward: upload a passport scan, passport-style photo, and fill out your travel details. Approval usually takes a few days, but applying at least two weeks before your trip is recommended.
Once granted, print your eVisa confirmation and carry it with you. Kenyan officials often request to see the hard copy along with your passport at immigration. Your passport should also be valid for six months beyond your arrival and contain at least one blank page.
The eVisa allows single entry and is valid for 90 days, giving you plenty of time to explore Nairobi’s lively streets, Maasai Mara’s wildlife, and coastal gems like Diani Beach.
Pro tip: If you’re planning a multi-country safari, check visa rules for each nation. Some neighboring countries require separate applications.
With the paperwork complete, you can focus on the real adventure—tracking giraffes, spotting cheetahs, and sipping sundowners under the African sky.
