Kenya Vaccinations
Preparing for a trip to Kenya involves not only packing and planning your itinerary but also ensuring you have the necessary vaccinations to protect your health.
Vaccinations are a crucial part of travel preparations in much of East Africa, especially when visiting areas where certain diseases may be prevalent. Here’s a guide to the recommended vaccinations for travellers heading to Kenya, which will help you to stay healthy and enjoy your trip without worry.
Kenya Vaccinations: Essential Immunisations for Travelers
Before travelling to Kenya, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist in your area well in advance of your trip. They will provide you with the most current advice and administer the necessary vaccinations. That said, here are some commonly recommended vaccinations for Kenya that you’ll want to pay particular attention to:
- Yellow Fever: Vaccination is recommended for all travellers aged 9 months and older. It may be required for entry if you are coming from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission.
- Hepatitis A: Recommended for most travellers, including those staying with friends or relatives, visiting smaller cities or more rural parts of the country.
- Typhoid: Recommended for holidaymakers visiting smaller cities, rural areas or if you are an adventurous eater.
- Hepatitis B: Recommended for travellers who might have blood or sexual contact with the local population.
- Rabies: Consider this vaccination if you are likely to come into contact with animals or will be spending a lot of time outdoors.
- Routine Vaccinations: Ensure that routine vaccinations such as measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), polio and your yearly flu shot are up-to-date.

Kenya Vaccinations: Planning Your Immunisation Schedule
Keep in mind the following when booking Kenya or Tanzania vaccinations ahead of your trip:
- Timing: Some vaccinations require multiple shots or need to be given weeks before your departure to be effective. It’s best to visit your doctor 4 to 6 weeks before your trip.
- Medical History: Discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider, as some pre-existing health conditions may influence the type of vaccines you can receive.
- Travel Activities: Your activities in Kenya might also influence the types of vaccines you need. For example, hiking or camping might increase your risk of certain exposures.

Our Testimonials
" It was our first time in Kenya as a family and we were rather unsure of what to expect . We were well received at the airport by the Representative Faith and proceeded on safari to Amboseli. The food was excellent throughout and was all included in the price. Our favourite was Sentrim Amboseli which is a tented camp with modern facilities and has a great atmosphere. There was a wide variety of animals to view wherever we went and that’s a plus to the agent for being able to anticipate client’s needs. We would thoroughly recommend booking a trip with Kenya Tru Nomads Tours "

" We had a 10 day tour with them and have nothing but praise for them! The booking process was simple and Faith helped us all the way with our tour choices, providing informative support. Our Driver/guide was Shauri. He was intelligent, articulate, informative and courteous all the way. He is an expert in the field of game safaris. We were a party of 2 with him in a safari Land Cruiser for 10 days and it flew by. There are not that many friends I would be happy to share such a time with but Shauri was a pleasure to share time with. Tru Nomads delivered what the promised and more. I thoroughly recommend them.
