Data planning

For typical travel use plan around 2–4 GB/week. Increase to 8–15 GB/week for streaming, remote work, or hotspot use. Top-ups are instant via the Simology app.

Insider tips

  • Public Wi‑Fi can be unreliable or unsecured β€” use your eSIM for safer, more stable connections.
  • Use your eSIM to navigate, book local transport, contact lodges, and access maps while exploring national parks.
  • May–October (dry season) is best for wildlife viewing. Rainy season (Nov–Apr) brings lush scenery but some rural roads may be challenging.
