In 1996, he visited Kenya for the first time as a traveller. Following the terror attacks on Israeli tourists in Kikambala in 2002, he returned to Israel as the Israeli government’s spokesman.
He returned to Kenya as Israel’s deputy ambassador in 2003.
Millo left Israel’s Foreign Ministry in 2008 after a term in Los Angeles and moved permanently to Nairobi with his family.
