Several places are under "do not travel" warnings for reasons including terrorism, kidnapping and banditry.
The U.S. Department of State has issued a "Do Not Travel" advisory for Kenya due to increased risks of crime, terrorism, and civil unrest, particularly in the northeastern region and along the Kenyan-Somali border. The advisory, updated on October 5, 2023, warns of potential terrorist attacks in major cities like Nairobi and Mombasa, with threats from groups such as al-Shabaab and ISIS. It also highlights the dangers of violent crime, including armed carjackings and home invasions, and notes the possibility of kidnappings, especially in the coastal and northeastern regions. The advisory recommends that U.S. citizens reconsider travel to Kenya and take heightened security measures if they must travel there.
