Same. What you can buy locally is all Chinese 125ccm or 150ccm. And there are a few Honda 250ccm dirtbikes around too.
There is a KTM shop in Nairobi but that one is heaps expensive.
The Chinese ones are not too bad. Although they fall apart quite easily they can be repaired super cheaply in local shops everywhere. We bought one in Tanzania and did 5000km with it without major issues. Price of a brand new one is less than $1000 for the 'big' 150ccm model. Second hand ones are highly sought after so it's easy selling the bike after your tour.
