Good to know in Rift Valley
Safari lodges concentrate signal around reception and the airstrip, not your tent, so sync photos over lodge Wi-Fi at night. Safaricom reaches furthest into the parks, and light-aircraft transfers usually depart Nairobi's Wilson Airport.
Best time to visit Rift Valley
Time a visit for July to October, when the Mara's wildebeest migration peaks and dry plains make game easy to spot.

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.

  • Best value for lighter, shorter trips
  • Clear allowance — pay only for what you need
  • Top up any time from your phone

Your guide to Rift Valley

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