Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Kenya

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Kenya. The plans labelled “Unlimited” actually allow 3 GB of high‑speed data per day; once that amount is used, speed drops to 1000 kbps. For travelers who need larger data allowances at a fixed cost, Airalo offers fixed plans such as the Safarilink 50 GB plan for 30 days at $99.00 USD and the Discover 20 GB plan, which is valid for 365 days at $66.00 USD. These fixed‑data options may be more cost‑effective for users who anticipate heavy data usage.

Airalo does not offer a Kenya eSIM that comes with a phone number or SMS capability. The provider’s current catalogue for Kenya contains only data‑only eSIM plans, so if a traveler requires a local number to receive or send text messages, those options are not available.

For communication needs that do not require a phone number, travelers can use VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the mobile data connection. However, some destinations may block or restrict access to certain VoIP services, so users should confirm the availability of the apps they rely on in Kenya before purchasing an Airalo eSIM.

Airalo lists 9 single‑country plans and 40 multi‑country plans that cover Kenya. The plans range from $6.00 to $119.00, with data caps between 1 GB and 50 GB. Among these, 44 fixed‑data‑cap options provide a set amount of data for the validity period, while 5 daily‑data‑cap options allow usage up to a specified cap each day.
