Using your eSIM in Kenya
Mobile data in Kenya
An PikoeSIM Kenya eSIM card gives you prepaid data for the airport arrival, train bookings and messages while you visit family or travel along the coast. A virtual sim card like this installs on a compatible phone before you fly, so keep tickets, transfers and your accommodation details saved offline for the stretches where reception drops.

Ready to hand.Nairobi, Kenya
Nairobi: specify the airport and pickup spot.
Landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, have your booking confirmation and the accommodation entrance saved offline. Message your driver the flight details and fix a meeting point after baggage claim, then follow the terminal signs to the right exit rather than relying on a street name alone.
If your itinerary involves a separate flight, check its airport on the ticket before booking the next transfer. A city name is not enough detail for a driver or a tight connection.
Data helps with a booking screen, maps and messages across Nairobi. It does not give you a local phone number or enrol you in a mobile-money service, so arrange a workable payment method and contact channel before you need them.
Save before you goFlight details, lodging entrance, transfer instructions and a fallback contact for the driver.
Madaraka Express: keep the ticket and both transfer points.
Kenya Railways runs the Madaraka Express between Mombasa and Suswa, with tickets sold online through its metickets.krc.co.ke platform, over the counter at stations, or by dialing *639# on a Safaricom line. Check the station names and departure shown on your ticket, then arrange transport to the named terminus.
Confirm the payment method before you start. A data plan does not include M-Pesa, a local number or USSD access, so if a step needs a service you do not have, use the operator's counter or phone options instead of assuming the eSIM supplies it.
Once you reach Mombasa, send the station pickup point and lodging pin to whoever is meeting you. Save entertainment before boarding and keep the ticket offline; extra data won't ensure uninterrupted coverage along the railway.
Save before you goTicket, ID details, departure station, arrival pickup and accommodation location.
