Kenya’s currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES), and delegates can easily exchange money upon arrival at the airport, banks, or authorized forex bureaus. Most major hotels, restaurants, and stores accept Visa and Mastercard, though it’s always good to have some cash for smaller purchases, local vendors, or taxis, thus the need for having some cash in Kenyan Shilling (KES)
The cost of living in Nairobi is moderate, and most delegates find it convenient to budget for meals and transport. For safety, avoid exchanging money with unauthorized street dealers and keep your cash and valuables secure at all times.
The SSMC Secretariat will share recommended points of service for delegates needing foreign exchange or mobile payment setup (M-PESA) during the conference. We remain available to help in any matter , feel free to reach out to us
