Peru and Kenya established relations in 1976, and Peru opened an embassy in Nairobi on October 30, 1987.[1] Shortly after Alberto Fujimori was elected president in 1990, the embassy was closed on the same year.[1][2]

As of 2023, the embassy of Peru in South Africa, which opened in 1994, is accredited to neighbouring countries and also "represents Peru in Sub-Saharan Africa."[3] The country has also considered reopening an embassy in Kenya.[4]
