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. Protests across Kenya, including in Nairobi may block roads and can turn violent. Security forces have used tear gas to disperse crowds (see ‘Safety’).

You need to apply online for an electronic travel authorisation before you travel (see ‘Travel’). Heavy rainfall during the rainy season can cause severe floods, resulting in casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to telecommunications, power, water and transport (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Kenya overall due to the threat of terrorism and violent crime.
