We believe that the information regarding the ETA is crucial for international travelers, and we propose to package and share it with the general public. This would include creating a dedicated page on our website to serve as a comprehensive guide for those planning to explore Kenya.
Here’s a brief overview of the key points covered in the ETA guide:
