The CDC lists Kenya as as Yellow Fever area (only certain parts though) but not the other two countries. You may, therefore, want to get inoculated prior to travel to South Africa or Seychelles from Kenya, at least 10 days in advance, and have the yellow card with you. It's good for 10 years.
As someone who flies often to Kenya (NBO) I can tell you they never discontinued visa on arrival. At least not in the last 20 years. I recall seeing some reports a few years back about this, but they were never based in on the ground reality. VOA is always the most reliable method. In Africa, cold hard cash beats a computer record every day.
