The British High Commission has issued a new travel advisory warning all its citizens against travelling to some parts of Lamu, Tana River, Mandera and Garissa counties due to an increased threat of terrorism.
The advisory, released on Tuesday, March 29 by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), warns UK citizens that there have previously been terrorist kidnappings, as well as attacks.
FCO urged UK citizens in Kenya to remain vigilant and avoid the following areas:
Areas within 60km of the Kenya-Somali border
Eastern Garissa County (up to 20km north-west of the A3)
Mandera County (excluding Mandera West sub-county)
Lamu County (excluding Lamu Island and Manda Island)
Areas of Tana River County north of the Tana river itself (up to 20km north-west of the A3)
Within 15km of the coast from the Tana river down to the Galana (Athi-Galana-Sabaki) river.
The FCO’s travel advisory, which was updated on Wednesday, excludes safari destinations and beach resorts on the Coast.
