Tuesday
8 January 2008: Security guide.
Nairobi
Throughout the day the situation in Nairobi was completely normal,
with public transport operating and all offices and banks open
as usual.
There were no problems for any tourist vehicles driving through
the city and all transfers to and from the airport and to the
Nairobi hotels operated as normal.
Mombasa
Once again all was back to normal and there were no problems
affecting tourists in any of the beach resorts or in Mombasa.
All transfers and safaris continue to operate as normal from
Mombasa. The British consular representative on the Mombasa
south coast has written to express his appreciation of the work
of the Tourist Police Unit over the last few days in helping
to ensure good security for tourist visitors at the coast.
Parks and Reserves
There were no reports of any problems anywhere in the parks,
reserves or tourist routes. All national parks and reserves
may be visited by road or air as normal. The daily scheduled
services linking all the parks continue to operate as normal.
Western Kenya
Once again there were no reports of any problems in Western
Kenya today. However we continue to recommend that the areas
around Eldoret, Kericho, Kakamega and Kisumu should remain off-limits
to tourists for the time being. However these are not areas
normally visited by tourists as part of their safari itinerary.
Kenya Airways continue to operate scheduled flights to Kisumu
and have also operated a number of ad hoc flights to Eldoret
during the last few days.
During the last 24 hrs the German security advisory has been
toned down and it is anticipated that other countries will be
amending their travel advisories shortly to reflect the fact
that calm has been restored.
