Is there an eSIM available for travel to Africa?
Yes. The Africa Safari plans are made for trips that cross borders. Instead of buying a new SIM card in each country, you install one eSIM before you leave and use it across the region. You can choose from 11 plans, starting from USD 6.12.
Each plan has a set amount of data and a validity in days. While you travel, you can check the data you have left and top up if you need more. If your trip stays in a single country, you can also look at the separate page for travel data in Kenya.
Africa Safari eSIM: which plan fits your trip?
Think about how long you will be away and how you use your phone. A few simple guides:
- Short, light trips: a smaller plan with fewer days suits messages, maps and the odd photo.
- Longer stays: validity runs up to 30 days, so one plan can cover a longer itinerary.
- Heavy use: plans go up to 20 GB for travellers who upload videos or work on the road.
An unlimited plan is also on sale, if you would rather not count your data at all.
How to install your eSIM before the safari
- Check that your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. Our list of phones that support eSIM covers iPhone and Android models.
- Pick your Africa Safari plan and pay by card or Apple Pay.
- Scan the QR code or use the one-tap install link on your phone.
- Turn on the eSIM for data when you arrive, and keep your home SIM for calls if you like.
Installing while you still have Wi-Fi at home or at the airport makes the first day easier.
What is the downside of an eSIM?
The main limit is the phone itself. An eSIM only works on an eSIM-compatible phone that is unlocked, so older or locked handsets cannot use it. Plans are also data plans with a fixed amount and validity, so it helps to choose with your trip length in mind. New to the idea? Read what an eSIM is and how it works before you buy.
