Historical Rate changes of the South African Rand against the Kenyan Shilling

In the last 3 months, the value of the South African Rand against the Kenyan Shilling has fallen by -7.66%. The recent drop in value since last week, however, has virtually levelled out with the exchange rate staying relatively unchanged. There has only been a slight rise in value. With regard to recent valuations 3 months ago, the South African Rand equaled 7.67 Kenyan Shillings and is now worth 7.08 Kenyan Shillings. The decline in the South African Rand's value does not favor consumers or travelers visiting Kenya at the moment. You will receive less Kenyan Shillings for each South African Rand you exchange, thereby reducing your buying power while visiting. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange South African Rands to Kenyan Shillings, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
