Planning to visit Kenya soon? Whether you’re going on an African safari or hitting the beaches of Mombasa, if you’re traveling to Kenya for tourism, you’ll probably need a KENYA ETA, sometimes referred to as an eVisa! In this article, we’ll show you exactly how to get one.
We have just recently wrapped up our great African safari tour and one of the countries we visited was Kenya. We can give you a thousand reasons why you should consider Kenya for your next adventure. The safari, the stunning landscapes, and the rich cultures — all these will leave you in awe. But here’s one more reason: It’s so easy to get a Kenya ETA.
