This area includes Mombasa Island, Moi International Airport, Malindi, Kilifi and Watamu, but does not cover Diani.
The warning also covers areas within 60km (37 miles) of the Kenya-Somalia border, Garissa County and the Eastleigh area of Nairobi.
There are no travel warnings against any of Kenya’s popular safari destinations in the national parks, including Masai Mara, Laikipia and the Aberdare National Park.
