Friday 4 January 2008: KTF Update.

Today there were no reports received by KTF from Mombasa, Up-country or Nairobi of any violent incidents.All transfers between hotels and airport and safari departures by road from Mombasa and Nairobi took place without any problems. It is reported that Wilson Airport has aviation fuel once again and diesel is now available again in Narok.

Today offices, banks and shops were open and public transport was operating so staff were able to make their way to work.The shopping malls in Nairobi and Mombasa such as Village Market, Sarit Centre or Nakumatt were packed with people shopping and eating in the restaurants and food courts, giving an impression that things in the cities are now returning to normal.

Tourists who have been in the country over the last week have not been affected by the disturbances as these have taken place largely in places not frequented by tourist visitors. Very few tourists currently in the country have decided to cancel their holidays and the vast majority have opted to complete their stay and have been very content with their visit to Kenya.
