There is a risk of crime throughout Kenya with incidences of mugging, kidnapping, car-jacking and armed robbery occurring regularly. The risk of crime is particularly high in Nairobi, Mombasa and other large cities but can also occur in other areas including the Ngong Hills. UK travel advice advises British nationals to remain vigilant at all times when travelling in Kenya. We keep our travel advice under constant review.
