Hi,
Welcome to Expat.com.
Yellow fever vaccination need to be done and travelling to kenya is not a problem, if you are coming as a tourist thn you will get visa on arrival, by paying 50$.
Cheerz!!!

Hello, I think it's worth noting that you do not require a Yellow Fever vaccination to visit Kenya. It is a matter of personal choice. A visitors visa is definitely available on arrival - usually valid for 3 months.

Happy travelling!!
