The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Kenya, warning Brits not to travel to part of the east of the country, including some coastal areas.
Due to the risk of terrorism from groups based in Somalia, it now advises against all travel to within 60kms of the Kenya-Somalia border.
It also advises against travel to Mandera County, most of Tarbaj and Wajir East, most of Garissa County and Lamu, except for Lamu Island and Manda Island.
The Foreign Office also advises against all but essential travel to Garissa Town, Tana River County north of the Tana River as far as the town of Saka and within 15km of the east coast between the Tana River and the Galana River.
It is not warning against travel to any of the main beach resorts along the north and south coasts of Kenya, or to Mombasa, a major tourist gateway.
