Can you bring a weapon to Kenya?

Short answer
Depends on specifics

  • Weapons

    depends on specifics

    Arms and ammunition are listed by KRA as restricted imports: they require authorisation/licence from the relevant government institution before Customs will release them. Spent cartridges are separately listed as restricted. KRA's guidance does not name the specific licensing body, so it is not stated here.

    Also covers: weapons, knives, firearms, ammunition
