Wandr Safety Rating:

C (Elevated Risk)

62/100

Kenya presents moderate health risks, especially in rural and remote areas. Malaria is common, and yellow fever vaccination may be required depending on your itinerary. The CDC also recommends hepatitis A/B, typhoid, and sometimes rabies or cholera for extended stays. Healthcare varies in quality. Food and water safety, mosquito precautions, and travel insurance with evacuation coverage are strongly advised.
