COVID-19 Testing & Vaccination Requirements for Kenya Trips
Updated June 13, 2022
This information applies to Great Kenya Migration Safari & Kenya Migration Photo Safari trips.
Nat Hab requires all guests 5 and older to be fully vaccinated in order to participate. Fully vaccinated guests should upload their vaccination card to their Adventure Portal prior to departure.
All travelers arriving into Kenya through any point of entry must have a certificate of COVID-19 vaccination. The Kenyan Government defines fully vaccinated as having two doses of AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna or Sinopharm OR one dose of Johnson & Johnson. Please be sure to bring your physical vaccination card with you to Kenya, as you will be required to show proof of vaccination for entry, as well as throughout the trip in certain businesses and airports.
VACCINATION UPLOAD and HEALTH FORM
All travelers to Kenya are required to register and upload their vaccination certificates online prior to departure. Travelers should do so by creating an account on https://globalhaven.org/ and following the prompts to upload these documents.
Additionally, the Kenyan Ministry of Health requires all travelers to fill out a Traveler’s Health Surveillance Form at ears.health.go.ke/airline_registration prior to departure. After completion, you will receive a QR code via email to print and present to the port health officials on arrival in Kenya. The form will ask you for a contact number from which you can report your health status during your trip. Please use the following phone number: +254 702 630 084. The form will ask you to indicate the location of your first night’s lodging. Please use the following information:
Great Kenya Migration Safari & Kenya Migration Photo Safari
Hotel: House of Waine
Sublocation/Estate: Masai Lane, Bogani Road, Karen
Postal Address: P.O. Box 25035-00603 Nairobi
To increase safety on our trips and reduce the risk of possible COVID-19 exposure, Nat Hab will be facilitating a rapid antigen test on Day 1 of your adventure prior to meeting the group. Your Expedition Leader will provide more details upon arrival. This will be at no additional cost to you.
Starting June 12, 2022, a negative COVID-19 test to re-enter the U.S. is no longer required. If you were charged for this test along with your final balance, you will be refunded. This government mandate is reevaluated every 90 days. If you require a COVID-19 test for your home country or onward travels, we will be happy to help direct you towards online resources for obtaining the required test, though you will need to arrange and pay for the test on your own.
