Meat is an important aspect of many Kenyan meals and vegetarians especially strict ones may find some problems eating while in the country. Restaurants and cafes may serve vegetables and salads. There is also an abundance of fruit sold on sidewalks and markets at cheap prices.

Alternatively you can visit a supermarket or grocery store where you can purchase what you require.

The higher-class hotels do cater for vegetarians by providing special meals, and a number of quality Indian restaurants can be found in Nairobi and Mombasa that serve vegetarian dishes.
