Which eSIM is best for East Africa?
Which eSIM is best for East Africa?
For multi-country travel or wildlife safaris across East Africa, a regional prepaid eSIM like the eSIMKitStore East Africa 5 Countries Pass is often the best option.

Which eSIM is best for Kenya and Tanzania?
For classic Kenya and Tanzania combined safaris, a regional eSIM supporting seamless cross-border roaming on Airtel is ideal.

Are there any downsides to using an eSIM in East Africa?
Are there any downsides to using an eSIM in East Africa?
The main limitation is that most travel eSIMs (including our East Africa Pass) are data-only, meaning they do not include a local phone number or traditional voice call and SMS services. Additionally, your phone must be carrier-unlocked and compatible with eSIM technology. However, for most travelers, the benefits—such as avoiding high roaming fees, instant QR code activation, skipping local passport registration, and keeping your primary physical SIM active—far outweigh these drawbacks.
How do I switch networks when moving between East African countries?
How do I switch networks when moving between East African countries?
The network switching process is completely automatic. As soon as you cross borders or land in a supported destination (e.g., flying from Kenya to Uganda), your phone will automatically connect to Airtel's local network. Just make sure your eSIM profile is turned on and "Data Roaming" is enabled in your phone settings.
