Travel eSIM
Kenya eSIM for Travellers
Nairobi is a growing tech and conference hub, and many travellers combine work trips with a safari. A Kenya eSIM gets you online in the city and on the road to the parks without visiting a Safaricom shop.

Tips for using an eSIM in Kenya
- Coverage in national parks varies. Download offline maps before leaving Nairobi.
- M-Pesa needs a local Kenyan line, which a data eSIM does not provide.
How to set it up
- Check your phone supports eSIM (how to check).
- Buy a Kenya plan and pay from your Naira wallet.
- Scan the QR code on Wi-Fi before you travel (iPhone or Android steps).
- When you land, switch the eSIM on and enable data roaming for it.
Kenya eSIM FAQ
Can I use M-Pesa with a travel eSIM?
No. M-Pesa is tied to a Safaricom number registered in Kenya. Use the eSIM for data and pay with card or cash.
Is my phone eSIM compatible?
Most phones from 2019 onward support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer. Your phone must also be carrier unlocked. On iPhone, check Settings, General, About for a "Digital SIM" or "Available SIM" entry.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install it at home on Wi-Fi a day or two before your trip, but keep it switched off. Turn it on and enable data roaming for the eSIM line after you land.
Will I lose my Nigerian number?
No. The eSIM is added as a second line. Your Nigerian SIM stays in the phone for calls, SMS and bank OTPs while the eSIM handles data.
How do I pay?
Fund your TonicsTools wallet in Naira by card, bank transfer or USSD, or with crypto, then buy the plan. The QR code is delivered to your dashboard and email.
