Travel Departures: Kenya warning
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.VISITORS to Kenya should avoid North Eastern Province, the Tana River district of Coast Province and the Isiolo and Marsabit districts of Eastern Province (apart from the Samburu Games Reserve), says the Foreign Office's Travel Advice Unit (071-270 4129). Traffic on the Malindi/Garsen/Lamu road is vulnerable to attack and the road should not be used, says the FO.
'Exercise common prudence everywhere, but especially in the main urban centres, when travelling after dark and in isolated places. Do not go about Nairobi or coastal towns on foot at night and avoid empty beaches. Muggings can take place anywhere. Armed car hijackings are prevalent in the Nairobi area.'
