Do not travel to this region due to ongoing instability and the limited ability of the Ministry to provide consular assistance.
The Ministry of Foreign & Diaspora Affairs advises against all travel to a region currently experiencing serious unrest. Conditions are volatile and may change without warning, and movement in and out of the area may be disrupted at short notice.
The ability of the Ministry and Kenyan missions to provide consular assistance in this region is severely limited. Routine services such as document replacement and in-person support may be unavailable, and evacuation cannot be guaranteed.
Kenyans already in the area should consider leaving by the first safe and available means, keep travel documents and essential items ready, and maintain regular contact with their nearest mission and with family at home. Register your presence so the Ministry can reach you.
