Accessing the Internet while in Kenya


You may be in Kenya for a safari or just a quick tour. While visiting Kenya you will probably want to access the internet to upload the picture you took while in Masai Mara. Contrary to misconception about Africa, Internet is widely available here in Kenya. 

There are several internet service providers in Kenya. The choice of the internet service provider depends greatly on how long you plan to stay in Kenya.

For a tourist, it is appropriate that you go for an ISP that will give you a short-term internet contract. Therefore, you should go for an ISP such as Safaricom. Safaricom is a well established telecommunication company in Kenya.

Its network coverage is wide therefore no matter where you will be visiting you will be able to update your status update with no hassle. You can access the internet via your internet-enabled phone or purchase a 3G network modem for your other device.

However, it is worthwhile mentioning that 3G internet coverage is found in the three major cities in Kenya i.e. Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.

Accessing the internet in Kenya is quite cheap through the purchase of unlimited offers. Safaricom offers weekly and monthly-unlimited internet subscription, which will enable you save a lot in terms of internet costs.
