A major correction sir. Kenya is not an emerging tourist destination but is in fact an established one with a vibrant tour & travel industry.

Nigerians don't apply online, visa is at Point of Entry, just make sure your passport is valid for 6months,book a flight(round trip) and go when you get to the airport in Nairobi they will issue you a form to fill, in that form its like your itenary of places you want to visit while in Kenya but then make a hotel reservation then fill the address of the hotel as the address of where you want to stay while in Kenya. The visa office will just ask you your purpose of visit,you tell him/ her you're a tourist, once bro you pay $50 they issue you a sticker visa in your passport. NB: if you're a first time visitor they will issue you maybe a 1month visa you can extend your visa for 3months while in Kenya before you exist. The places is OK just few areas are dangerous.

Apply online and get it approved before traveling. Visa on arrival has changed since the Covid lockdown.
