The major operators in Kenya are Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya. Safaricom is by far the market leader with the broadest 4G and 5G coverage and scores highest on network quality, including in the countryside. Airtel is a solid alternative in cities, while coverage in safari areas and remote regions relies mainly on Safaricom. Networks: Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, Telkom Kenya.
For cities plus a safari, 5 to 10 GB is usually enough. If you want to share photos and videos, choose a larger package and download offline maps for the parks.
Outside the EU, ordinary roaming is expensive, so an eSIM with local networks is considerably cheaper.
