How Much Data Do You Need in Kenya?

For a week-long safari trip with moderate social media use and daily messaging, 3-5GB typically suffices. If you plan to video call family, stream content, or share high-resolution wildlife footage regularly, consider 7-10GB. Budget travellers using mostly maps and WhatsApp can manage with 1-2GB. Longer trips of two weeks or more benefit from 10GB+ plans, especially when visiting multiple destinations like Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, and the coast.
