The travel industry is changing. More people want to explore the world without getting trapped in financial stress. As a result, a new trend is rising fast across Kenya and beyond: paying for holidays in installments. Known locally as Lipa Mdogo Mdogo, this model is transforming how people plan and afford travel.

At Smart Holidays Kenya, we’ve made installment travel not just possible—but practical, flexible, and affordable. Let’s explore why this payment model is quickly becoming the future of travel.
What Is Lipa Mdogo Mdogo Travel?
Lipa Mdogo Mdogo travel is a payment plan that allows you to book your dream holiday and pay for it in small monthly installments. Instead of waiting to save the full amount, you start now, pay slowly, and travel when the total cost is cleared.
For example, a Ksh 60,000 holiday can be paid in 12 monthly installments of just Ksh 5,000. Once the final payment is made, your trip is booked and confirmed.
Why More Kenyans Are Choosing Installment Holidays
The modern traveler wants convenience, flexibility, and affordability. Here’s why paying for holidays in installments is becoming the preferred choice:
1. No Financial Pressure
Saving a large lump sum for a holiday can take months or years. It often leads to cancelled plans or last-minute borrowing. With Lipa Mdogo Mdogo, the pressure is lifted. You pay gradually, and your finances stay healthy.
2. Allows for Better Planning
When you know your destination and payment plan in advance, everything becomes easier. You can plan leave days, apply for passports, and coordinate with travel companions—all without rushing.
3. Opens Doors for More People to Travel
Travel used to feel like a luxury for the wealthy. But now, teachers, students, boda riders, nurses, and entrepreneurs can all afford holidays. With Lipa Mdogo Mdogo, travel becomes inclusive, not exclusive.
4. Improves Financial Discipline
Paying in installments trains your mind to budget. You commit to a goal and achieve it through small, regular steps. This habit often spills over into other areas of life, like saving or investing.
5. Enables You to Choose Higher-Quality Packages
Let’s face it—good travel experiences cost money. But paying for them monthly makes them more reachable. That four-star resort, that private safari, or that international trip becomes achievable without straining.
Benefits of Paying for Holidays in Installments
Let’s take a closer look at how installment-based travel planning is revolutionizing tourism:
✅ Flexibility
You choose how long you want to pay. Whether it’s 3, 6, or 12 months, the plan is customized to suit your income.
✅ No Debt or Loans
You’re not borrowing money or paying interest. You’re simply saving toward a specific goal with a clear outcome: your holiday.
✅ Peace of Mind
Every payment brings you closer to your dream. You avoid the guilt or regret that comes with impulsive spending.
✅ Confidence in Travel
When you’re financially ready and fully paid up, you travel with peace, knowing everything is sorted.
