Exercise increased caution in Kenya due to crime and terrorism.
Kenya faces ongoing security threats from the al-Shabaab militant group, with attacks historically targeting Nairobi, the northeast border counties, and coastal areas around Lamu. Avoid all travel to Garissa, Mandera, and Wajir counties, and the Kenya-Somalia border area. Nairobi's central business district and affluent suburbs like Westlands have good security but carjacking and armed robbery remain risks. Safari parks and the Maasai Mara are generally safe with reputable tour operators. Medical facilities in Nairobi are among the best in East Africa. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and follow local security advice.
