The US State Department upgraded Kenya's travel advisory from Level 2 to Level 3, urging travellers to reconsider travel due to risks of kidnapping, terrorism, unrest, and a higher risk of Ebola amid limited medical services. Specific counties in northern and coastal Kenya are designated no-travel zones due to kidnapping and terrorism threats.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face tightened restrictions and heightened risk messaging for Kenya travel that can disrupt business trips and customer visits. Plan to pivot away from on-ground presence in flagged regions and prepare contingency options for client engagements.
