While the Kenyan Shilling (KES) is the local currency, navigating payments is straightforward. Credit cards and major foreign currencies are widely accepted, especially in cities. However, to ensure a seamless experience in more remote regions — where card terminals can be unreliable and ATMs scarce — carrying some cash is highly recommended. Guests can exchange funds upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, at Nairobi banks, or directly at Ishara, which can facilitate small exchanges of US Dollars, Pounds, and Euros for shillings. For added convenience, cashless payments via M-Pesa are also available.

Kenya's electrical system operates on 240 volts at 50Hz. To ensure your devices stay powered throughout your journey, all of our suites and safari vehicles are equipped with universal charging sockets, along with a selection of various travel adaptors for your convenience.
