Singapore and Malaysia are two of the easiest and most rewarding Asian holidays for Kenyan travellers. Kenyan passport holders can visit both without a visa, the two countries sit side by side, and one trip combines futuristic city sights, theme parks, rainforest highlands and some of the best food in Asia. As a Nairobi tour and travel company that runs Singapore and Malaysia group trips, we have put together this guide to what a Malaysia tour package from Kenya costs, what a typical Singapore and Malaysia itinerary covers, the entry rules you need to know and how to choose the right package.
Malaysia tour package from Kenya: how much does it cost?
A combined Singapore and Malaysia group tour from Nairobi, including return flights, four-star hotels, breakfast and guided sightseeing, costs roughly US$2,300 to US$2,500 per person for 7 to 8 days. Prices depend on the season, hotel category and how many attractions are included.
- 7 Days Malaysia and Singapore Group Tour, 10 to 16 December 2026: US$2,365 per person, with return flights, airport transfers, four-star hotels, daily breakfast and the activities in the itinerary
- 8 Days Singapore and Malaysia Adventure: US$2,360 per person for a longer group trip covering Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa, Batu Caves and the Petronas Twin Towers
- 5 Days Kuala Lumpur Honeymoon Package: from US$720 per person for a five-star hotel, private airport transfers, sightseeing and a romantic dinner
Group departures are the best value Singapore Malaysia group tour package option because flights, hotels, transfers and entry tickets are bundled into one price.
Do Kenyans need a visa for Malaysia and Singapore?
No. Kenya is on Malaysia’s official list of countries whose citizens do not need a visa, and Kenya is not on Singapore’s list of visa-required countries. Kenyan tourists can usually stay up to 30 days in each country. You will still need to prepare a few things before you fly:
- Passport: valid for at least six months from your date of arrival.
- Yellow fever certificate: both countries ask travellers arriving from Kenya to show a valid yellow fever vaccination card, so carry yours.
- Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC): a free online form submitted within three days before you land in Malaysia. Every traveller, including children, needs their own.
- SG Arrival Card: a free online form for Singapore, also completed within three days before arrival.
- Return or onward ticket and your hotel booking. Airlines may check these at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Entry rules can change, so confirm the latest requirements before you travel. Our team checks these for every group departure.
Singapore and Malaysia tour: sample 7-day itinerary
Most Singapore and Malaysia tour packages spend two nights in Singapore and four nights in Malaysia. Here is how a typical week looks:
- Day 1: Fly from Nairobi to Singapore via a Gulf or African hub, transfer to your hotel and relax.
- Day 2: Singapore city tour: Merlion Park, Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands area, with an evening on Sentosa Island.
- Day 3: Travel to Kuala Lumpur by road or a short flight, then check in.
- Day 4: Kuala Lumpur city tour: the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, Merdeka Square and the Batu Caves.
- Day 5: Day trip to Genting Highlands by cable car, with cooler mountain air, theme parks and outlet shopping.
- Day 6: Free day for Sunway Lagoon theme park, Madame Tussauds or shopping at Bukit Bintang.
- Day 7: Transfer to the airport for your flight home.
This is the format of our 7-day Malaysia and Singapore December group tour. An 8-day trip adds an extra day for Universal Studios Singapore or more time in Kuala Lumpur.
Top things to do in Malaysia
- Petronas Twin Towers: cross the skybridge and visit the observation deck of Kuala Lumpur’s most famous landmark.
- Batu Caves: climb the 272 colourful steps to a Hindu temple set inside a limestone hill.
- Genting Highlands: ride one of the region’s longest cable cars to a mountain resort with theme parks and casinos.
- KL Tower: enjoy 360-degree views of the city, especially at sunset.
- Bukit Bintang and Jalan Alor: shop by day and try satay, nasi lemak and roti canai at the night food street.
- Putrajaya: see the pink Putra Mosque and the government buildings on a half-day trip.
- Langkawi or Penang: add island beaches or colonial George Town if you have extra days.
Top things to do in Singapore
- Gardens by the Bay: walk the Supertree Grove and the Cloud Forest dome, then watch the evening light show.
- Marina Bay Sands: take in the skyline from the SkyPark observation deck.

- Merlion Park: the classic photo stop facing Marina Bay.

Adding Thailand to your Singapore and Malaysia tour
Many travellers add Thailand to make a three-country trip. Bangkok is about a two-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, so 10 to 12 days is enough for all three. See our Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand tour package guide for an 11-day itinerary, costs and the Thai visa rules for Kenyans.
Best time to visit Singapore and Malaysia
Both countries are hot and humid all year, usually between 25°C and 33°C, with short tropical showers rather than long rainy seasons. That means there is no bad time to go, but a few things are worth knowing:
- December: the most popular month for Kenyan travellers, with school holidays, festive decorations and year-end sales. Book early, as group slots fill fast.
- February to April: often some of the driest weeks in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and good value outside the holidays.
- June to August: a popular family window that also catches the Great Singapore Sale season.
Pack light clothing, a compact umbrella and a light layer for air-conditioned malls and the cooler Genting Highlands.
Flights from Nairobi to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur
There are no direct flights from Nairobi to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Most routes connect through Dubai, Doha or Addis Ababa, with a total journey time of roughly 13 to 17 hours. Between the two countries, Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is about an hour by air or five to six hours by coach. Our group packages include all of these flights and transfers, so you do not need to book them separately.
Choosing tours in Singapore and Malaysia
- Families: choose a 7 or 8-day Singapore and Malaysia package with Sentosa, Sunway Lagoon and Genting Highlands.
- Couples and honeymooners: our Kuala Lumpur honeymoon package adds a five-star hotel and a romantic dinner with a city view.
- Friends and solo travellers: a group departure means everything is arranged and you travel with a fun Scenery Adventures group.
- Shoppers: plan extra free time in Bukit Bintang, Orchard Road and the Genting outlets.
