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$.

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!!

for arrival you dont need it, coz you are not from a yellow fever affected country. you only need it while going back to your country. VISA you get on arrival 50$
