Moderate Risk Level
Malaria in Kenya
Malaria risk is high throughout Kenya, including Nairobi (lower risk), the coast (Mombasa, Diani Beach), and all safari areas (Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo). Anti-malarial tablets are recommended for virtually all travel to Kenya. Only areas above 2,500m (such as central highlands and some parts of the Rift Valley) are considered low-risk.
Travel Health Tips for Kenya
Practical tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout your trip.
Travel tip 1
- Take anti-malarial tablets as prescribed — start before arrival, continue during your stay, and complete the course after returning.
Travel tip 2
- Use DEET-based repellent and long clothing at dusk and dawn when Anopheles mosquitoes are most active.
Travel tip 3
- Carry your Yellow Fever certificate — you may be asked to show it on arrival.
Travel tip 4
- Safari vehicles provide some protection, but mosquito exposure is high at lodge camps in the evening.
Travel tip 5
- Drink bottled water and avoid raw salads outside of established hotels and lodges.
Travel tip 6
- Ensure travel insurance covers medical evacuation — the nearest hospital may be hours from safari locations.
When to Get Vaccinated
At least 10 days before departure for Yellow Fever (legal requirement). Ideally 6–8 weeks before for the full recommended schedule including Rabies. Same-day appointments available for last-minute travellers.
Best Time to Visit
June to October (dry season, peak safari season for the Great Migration in the Masai Mara). January to February is also dry and warm. The long rains are March to May, short rains October to December.
