Travel Essentials
What to pack, plugs, SIM cards, health and dress code for a smooth Kilifi trip.
Electricity
Kenya uses Type G plugs (three rectangular pins) at 240V, 50Hz. Bring a universal adapter; most hotels can charge USB devices.
SIM cards & eSIM
Buy a Safaricom or Airtel SIM at the airport or in Kilifi Town for data and M-Pesa. eSIM options are available for some phones — check before travel.
Wi-Fi
Most hotels, cafés and restaurants offer Wi-Fi. For reliable connectivity on the move, a local data SIM is best.
Health & vaccinations
Drink bottled or filtered water. Use mosquito repellent and consider malaria prophylaxis (seek medical advice). Yellow fever vaccination may be required if arriving from endemic countries — verify with a travel clinic. Carry travel insurance.
Dress code
Beachwear is fine at the beach and resorts. In towns and cultural sites, dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) to respect local norms.
