Travel + visas[edit]

Kenya is quite accessible by air and road and boasts of a wide connection of both international and local flights. The main international (Intl) airport is the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, located 15-minute drive from the city center. The availability of other international airports such as the Moi Intl Airport in Mombasa, also makes it convenient for Wikimedians who may wish to explore the coastal side of Kenya, which is famed for blue waters, white sandy beaches and great historical sites such as the Fort Jesus.

Visas: evisa[edit]

All visitors to Kenya are eligible to apply for the Republic of Kenya eVisa online without visiting a Kenyan diplomatic mission or obtaining the visa upon arrival. More information about visa requirements can be found here. See also [Visa Policy of Kenya]
