Kenya Travel Advice

⬤ Exercise a high degree of caution
We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Kenya due to the threat of terrorism and violent crime. Higher levels apply in some areas. Terrorists continue to maintain a strong interest in attacking foreigners in Nairobi and other major population centres in Kenya. Attacks could occur at any time, with little or no warning. Avoid areas prone to attack and remain vigilant if visiting public areas (see 'Safety'). To enter Kenya, you need to apply online for an electronic travel authorisation prior to travel (see 'Travel').
