Health

It is strongly recommended that participants should have travel insurance (including health) for the duration of their stay in Kenya. Participants should particularly ensure that their insurance is applicable in Kenya. Furthermore, they should carry evidence of current health/hospitalization insurance such as cards that may be produced to health institutions should the need arise.

Participants are also encouraged to provide information during registration, on their next of kin who may be contacted on behalf of the participant should the need arise. Presentation of a valid yellow fever certificate at the point of entry is required for persons who originate from or have travelled to States where yellow fever is described by the World Health Organization (WHO), as endemic, including the following States: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Comoros, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, DRC, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Equatorial, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Congo, Rwanda, São Tomé and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda.

Persons who fail to produce a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate to the port health officials may be required to take the vaccination at the point of entry against payment of US$15 (subject to change by the appropriate authority). The officials may take other action in accordance with applicable regulations and procedures.
