Travel vaccinations
for Kenya.
Kenya is a popular safari destination, and malaria protection matters for most of the classic safari circuit, including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo. Yellow fever isn’t required for direct travel from the UK, but is often recommended, and sometimes needed, if your trip combines Kenya with other East African countries. Our GPhC-registered pharmacist provides a full pre-travel health assessment and your recommended vaccines in a single visit.
What you need before you travel to Kenya.
Yellow fever vaccination isn’t a legal requirement for travellers arriving directly from the UK, but it’s strongly recommended for your own protection, and may be required if your trip includes onward travel to or from another country with yellow fever risk, which is common on multi-country East Africa itineraries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda). The certificate only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination, so book this well ahead of your trip.
Malaria is present in most safari areas, including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo, with higher risk during and after the rainy seasons (March to May and October to December). There is no vaccine for malaria, so antimalarial tablets combined with bite avoidance are essential for safari travel. Hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended for most travellers due to food and water hygiene.

What your Kenya travel consultation covers.
Book your Kenya travel consultation
Ideally 6–8 weeks before you travel, so any vaccines needing more than one dose have time to work, and your yellow fever certificate has time to become valid.
Kenya-specific health assessment
Your pharmacist reviews your full itinerary, including any other countries you’ll visit, the time of year, and your health history to identify what you need.
Vaccinations and antimalarial prescription
Any recommended vaccines available on the day are administered at the appointment. Antimalarial tablets are prescribed if suitable for you.
ICVP certificate and documentation
Your Yellow Fever ICVP certificate is issued on the day if needed, and your vaccination record is kept on file in your Halaxy account.
