I've tried Airalo and Holafly before, but TripoSIM was noticeably cheaper for Kenya. The data lasted my entire business trip and I still had some left over. Customer support responded within minutes when I had a question about installation.

Used TripoSIM for my vacation to Kenya. Setup took 2 minutes — scanned the QR code at the airport and had 4G immediately after landing. Speeds were great for maps, video calls, and uploading photos. Much cheaper than my carrier's roaming package.

As a frequent traveler, I've used eSIMs in 15+ countries. TripoSIM for Kenya was one of the smoothest experiences. Instant QR code, fast activation, solid speeds. The auto top-up feature is a lifesaver for longer trips.

Very happy with TripoSIM in Kenya. Data speeds were consistently good in urban areas. I used about 5GB over 10 days for streaming, maps, and social media. Easy to track usage in the dashboard. Only minor issue was initial setup on my Samsung required a restart.
