The British Government will, today, remove the travel advisory against all but essential travel to the Eastleigh area of Nairobi.

In addition, we will also make changes to the language and format of UK travel advice around the world, including, but not limited to, travel advice for Kenya. Following public consultation in the UK, the British Government is amending the language used to describe the terrorist threat in countries and territories, to make it clearer, consistent and more specific. These changes are simply to format and language, there is no change in the UK government’s assessment of the level of threat from terrorism in Kenya.

UK nationals remain free to make their own decisions regarding travel based on the information available.

The UK’s full travel advice for Kenya is available here.
