Many things work differently in Kenya.
Here you find out why.
I don’t just explain what you can do. I explain why people in Kenya see things differently than in Switzerland, Germany or Austria. That way you avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary costs.
What you’ll find
in the guide
- Before the trip: entry permit (eTA), mandatory insurance and health
- The first 90 minutes after landing, without learning the hard way

Questions
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. You download the file before your trip. After that you don’t need internet any more.
Does it replace insurance or a doctor?
No. You find out what you can do and whom to call. It does not replace insurance, a doctor or a lawyer.
Do I get personal help via WhatsApp?
No. You get the file, not personal advice. In return you can use it yourself at any time, without an appointment.
How up to date is it?
Every file has a date. Check rules such as entry and fees on the official websites shortly before your trip. The links are included.
