  "summary": "Kenya's passport ranks 68th globally according to the 2026 Henley Passport Index, granting access to 69 destinations without a visa. This represents a five-place improvement from its 73rd place ranking in 2025, though the number of accessible destinations has decreased by one from the previous year, now at 69. The ranking is based on data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and reflects the number of destinations accessible without a prior visa. Within Africa, Kenya holds the 10th place, behind Seychelles, Mauritius, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Morocco, and Malawi. Seychelles leads the continent with visa-free access to 154 destinations, followed by Mauritius with 145.",
