Getting there
Kisumu International Airport (IATA: KIS) is approximately 3 km from the city centre, about a 10-minute drive. Kenya Airways and Jambojet operate multiple daily nonstop flights from Nairobi (approximately 50 minutes). Local transfers are by taxi, ride-hailing, or boda-boda (motorcycle taxi); matatus (shared minivans) serve city routes.
Visa
Kenya replaced traditional visas with an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) from January 2024, applied for online at etakenya.go.ke. Most delegates require an approved eTA (processing fee ~USD 30) before travel; EAC partner-state citizens and most African nationals (except Libya and Somalia) are exempt. Apply at least 3 days before departure.
Safety
Kisumu is generally safe for visiting professionals; exercise standard urban precautions — keep valuables secure, use reputable taxi or ride-hailing services especially at night, and keep phones in front pockets in crowded markets.
