Kenya is open to leisure tourism and international arrivals are still growing. The trip is not low-risk: current advisories warn about terrorism, crime, kidnapping, unrest, and several regional no-go zones, while recent disruptions have included protests, flooding, and an airport strike. Most mainstream tourist trips still go ahead, but travelers need to plan carefully and avoid higher-risk areas.
