Kenya is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Africa and has a number of world class national parks, hosts the annual wildebeest migration and has a fabulous coast line. The country has had a number of security issues which had a negative impact on tourist numbers for a while but with its tourism pedigree, it has recovered. People from around the globe come to experience the richness of both the Kenyan culture and its stunning parks with abundant wildlife. Kenya has seen the arrival of large numbers of tourists from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, India, and China.
While Kenya has seen its share of troubles, the crime rate in Kenya isn’t as high as some other countries in Africa. The Kenyan authorities have done a pretty good job of securing most locations and they have an impressive security setup. Also, airports and public places such as markets and shopping malls have seen an increase in police security.
Most of the crime in Kenya occurs in urban areas of the well-known cities and towns and these locations are not generally near safari destinations. Most of the time safari tourists will be transiting through these areas and their exposure will be limited. We have included a list of safety tips for cities in addition to safety tips on safari and some further information on health and vaccinations.
When travelling to Kenya, vaccinations are of the utmost importance. Most of the vaccinations required for Kenya and surrounding African countries are similar.
It is very important to take the advice of the tour operator that you are booking your trip through as well as your local GP. For more information regarding these vaccinations, visit CDC guidelines.
