Mobile Internet in Kenya 2024

Added: 07.12.2023, Updated: 12.12.2023,

Kenya - a country mostly associated with the world's best runners, safari travel, Lake Victoria, beautiful beaches or the Masai tribe. However, many people are very worried about going to Kenya. This is due to the belief that this country is too "wild," making tourists worry about problems with any kind of coverage or internet connection. In this article, we want to show that these fears are unreasonable, and mobile internet in Kenya is not a problem for travelers, although there are a few important issues to keep in mind.

XOXO mobile WiFi router in Kenya

The XOXO WiFi router is a mobile 4G/LTE router that provides unlimited internet access throughout Kenya, even in the most popular tourist attractions in the savannahs. The device has innovative E-SIM technology built in, so it connects to the best operator in the area. In practice, this means that the XOXO will independently search for and connect to the best network within seconds, providing you with the fastest possible internet in the location you are in. We have the ability to connect up to five devices to the router at once, i.e. laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. To use XOXO WiFi, you don't have to sign any contract. You simply fill out the rental form available at xoxowifi.com and take it on your next trip. When you return, you send the device back and let us know if you will still be able to travel without XOXO WiFi :)

SIM cards in Kenya

There are three mobile network operator companies in Kenya for which there is such a thing as Mobile Internet Kenya - Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom. Each of them offers the possibility of buying a periodic SIM card with Internet access. The problem may be that the purchase can only be made at authorized operators' showrooms, where you have to register your number (giving all your details), so it's not as easy as in other countries. Let's also not forget the limitation to just the phone, which can be a significant obstacle for individuals who have traveled to Kenya for remote work and require internet access on their laptops.

Roaming in Kenya

It is also possible to use a Polish SIM card. There is international roaming in Kenya, which allows you to make calls to Poland or surf the net. It is a very simple solution, just turn on Mobile Data on your phone and you are done. What's the downside? Unbelievable costs, which can amount to several thousand PLN if you use the Internet extensively. If you really are in an emergency situation and need to make some urgent call, then (but only then) we recommend using roaming. Otherwise, mobile Internet in Kenya will be very expensive for the Polish tourist.

While in Kenya, you can rest assured that you will be in touch with the rest of the world. As you can see, there are several ways to get Internet in Kenya. Don't forget to share your experiences on social media. So that it is not difficult to say goodbye to Africa, so that in Poland you can remember an unforgettable trip every day :)
