Does it work inside Lake Nakuru National Park?

Yes. Coverage is reasonable near the gates and main circuits where you will spot flamingos, rhinos and giraffes, and it can thin along the quieter lakeshore tracks. Download an offline map so navigation never depends on signal.

Can I use the same eSIM at Naivasha and Hell's Gate?

You can. Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate all sit on one national plan, so a single eSIM covers the whole Rift Valley loop without swapping SIMs or buying anything extra between stops.

Good to know in Nakuru

Nakuru pairs naturally with Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate just down the highway, making a neat Rift Valley loop — keep data live to book park entry on eCitizen and check the notoriously busy A104 traffic.

Two simple ways to buy

Nakuru eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Nakuru eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Nakuru — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Nakuru eSIM: your local data guide.

Nakuru sits in the heart of the Rift Valley, and most travellers come for the flamingos, rhinos and Rothschild giraffes of Lake Nakuru National Park, plus the vast Menengai Crater on the town's doorstep. A Nakuru eSIM keeps you connected for eCitizen park tickets, Bolt rides around town and maps along the busy Nairobi highway.

One eSIM for Nakuru and all of Kenya. It's the national Kenya eSIM — from $5.60/day with unlimited data, working the same in Nakuru as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) — about 160 km by road?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

Peace of mind

Your Nakuru eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Nakuru eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Nakuru, no swapping your real SIM out.

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
