Sanft, einfach, funktioniert einfach. Nutze es wieder.
Schnelle Aktivierung und stabile Verbindung. Sehr praktisch 🌟 Habe es während meiner Reise auf Madeira benutzt.
Wundervoller Service, habe eine eSIM für Großbritannien erhalten. Hatte keine Probleme.
Früher hatte ich 3 Handys, aber die Internetverbindung war nicht die beste, deshalb habe ich angefangen, Blikst zu benutzen, und ich finde es sehr nützlich.
The Blikst Kenya eSIM runs on the Airtel Kenya network, the country's second-largest operator, with expanding 4G coverage across the main tourist circuits. You get 3G and 4G speeds, which is plenty for navigation, WhatsApp, mobile payments and streaming in the cities and along the major highways where Airtel's 4G is strongest.
Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret all have solid 4G, and the A104 Nairobi-Mombasa highway and A109 to the coast are well covered. Diani Beach and Watamu have 4G; Lamu runs 3G to 4G depending on where you are. Be realistic about the parks: signal sits at the Masai Mara gates and riverside camps but is patchy on game drives and often drops north of the Mara Triangle. Amboseli and Samburu coverage clusters around the lodges.
Right after you buy, you'll get a confirmation email with your eSIM details, so install the profile at home over Wi-Fi before you fly. You scan the QR code provided to add the line. Activation is automatic: it kicks in when you arrive in Kenya. Just switch off airplane mode after landing at Jomo Kenyatta or Mombasa and the Blikst line registers on Airtel by itself, no airport queue needed.
Most modern smartphones work fully with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so check our detailed compatibility list to confirm your device. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. On an iPhone you can check eSIM support under Settings, General, About and look for an EID number; on Android the eSIM option lives in your network or SIM settings. If both are present, you're good to go.
A three-day Nairobi stopover works on 1 to 3 GB. A one-week safari taking in Nairobi, the Masai Mara and Nakuru fits 3 to 5 GB, since camp Wi-Fi does the heavy lifting. A two-week trip adding Amboseli and a Diani or Watamu coast extension sits comfortably at 10 GB. Three-week overland routes through Samburu and the Lake Turkana region need 15 to 20 GB. Remote workers based in Nairobi for a month should pick 30 GB or more.
Yes, tethering and hotspot are supported, so you can share your connection from your phone to a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's device. That's handy for remote work from a Nairobi cafe or for keeping the family online from a single plan during transit legs. Bear in mind that hotspot use draws data faster, so size your plan with some headroom if you'll be sharing it regularly.
This is a data-only plan, so there's no local Kenyan phone number for traditional calls or SMS. In practice that's how Kenya works anyway: lodges, guides and private drivers coordinate airstrip pickups and itinerary changes over WhatsApp. You can call and message freely over the internet using apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime. Your eSIM is a separate digital line, so your physical home SIM and number can stay in the phone for anything that still needs them.
Against US, UK or EU roaming at around 10 to 12 dollars a day, a 15-day 5 GB plan saves you roughly the cost of a Karen Blixen Coffee Garden lunch. A local Safaricom or Airtel SIM at JKIA is cheap but requires passport and fingerprint registration, which is slow after a late-night arrival. The Blikst eSIM skips that entirely and lands on Airtel infrastructure directly, so you're connected straight from immigration.
