A CheapESIM plan purchased for Kenya is valid exclusively within Kenya's borders. If your travel plans include crossing into Tanzania, perhaps to experience the Serengeti after visiting Masai Mara, your Kenyan connection will cease at border points like Namanga or Isebania. To maintain seamless connectivity and avoid unexpected costs, CheapESIM recommends purchasing a separate eSIM for Tanzania or a regional Africa plan, ensuring you only pay for data where you're actually using it.
