🚨 Important Update for Kenya Travelers!
Effective October 5, 2026, the Kenyan government requires all foreign visitors to purchase mandatory local travel insurance directly through the official eTA system.
⚠️ Please note: Even if you already have international travel insurance, purchasing this specific local policy is now a mandatory prerequisite to complete your eTA application.
💰 Costs:
Adults: $44.00 USD (+ $1.00 processing fee)
Minors: $22.00 USD (+ $1.00 processing fee)
Group applications remain possible, but the insurance fee applies individually.
Plan ahead for your next trip to the Mara / Kenya! ✈️🌍🐾
