The latest from Kenyan Tourist board....
"The situation remains the same in terms of Foreign & Commonwealth Office Travel Advisory and we continue to receive updates from the private sector in Kenya on the situation.
o The scheduled carriers, Kenya Airways, British Airways & Virgin Atlantic Airways are operating their daily schedules as normal from London Heathrow to Nairobi and from Nairobi International Airport to London Heathrow. KLM and Swiss services via Amsterdam and Zurich continue as normal.
o All international flights continue to transit normally through Nairobi International Airport to onward destinations.
o Unless otherwise notified via the FTO all charter flights to Mombasa continue to operate departing flights as usual and as per timetable. Outbound legs are being flown empty whilst the FCO’s Travel Advisory is in place
o A unified cancellation policy for all the Kenyan Tourism Industry is expected imminently. We will forward it as soon as it is available.
o The Foreign & Commonwealth Office Travel Advisory is being consistently updated and now includes references to the calming situation. This site should be referred to frequently. www.fco.gov.uk
Today was another normal day in Nairobi and Mombasa with no problems or incidents reported.
There were no reports of any insecurity or problems affecting tourists in any of Kenya’s parks and reserves or on any of the roads connecting them.
There were no reports today of any demonstrations or violent disturbances elsewhere in the country but inter-ethnic tensions remain in the area around Kericho in the Western corner of Kenya, which on the advice of the Kenya Tourism Federation remains off-limits to tourists.
Much attention will be focused on Nairobi tomorrow when the new Parliament sits for the first time. The main opposition party has confirmed that they will hold rallies in different parts of the country on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday but have issued assurances that that these are intended to be peaceful."
