From Canadian goverment
OFFICIAL WARNING: Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against all travel to northeast Kenya within 150 km of the Somali border, including all coastal areas of Lamu District, where there is a risk of kidnapping and attack. Although Kenya's border with Somalia has been closed since January 2007, Somali militias and bandit groups have carried out cross-border attacks against foreigners and humanitarian workers in this region. Some of these incidents have resulted in injuries and death. On October 13, 2011, gunmen shot a driver and kidnapped two foreign nationals from the Dadaab Refugee Camp, 80 km from the Somali border. On September 11 and again on October 1, 2011, armed men attacked beachfront properties in Lamu District, resulting in the death of one foreign national and the kidnapping of two others (one of whom has subsequently died while in captivity). Beachfront accommodations and boats off the coast are particularly vulnerable to these attacks.
Travellers are also strongly advised to avoid all travel to the border areas with Sudan and Ethiopia due to armed banditry and cross-border violence.
In October 2011, insurgent group Al-Shabaab renewed warnings of planned terrorist attacks in Kenya. Attacks could occur at any time and could target areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. On October 24, two separate grenade attacks occurred several hours apart in downtown Nairobi, the first in a nightclub and the second at a bus stop. One person was killed and dozens were injured. On November 5, a grenade attack in Garissa killed two people and injured two others. A second undetonated bomb was found nearby. For safety reasons, travellers should avoid visiting businesses during peak hours, steer clear of areas with large crowds and remain vigilant when in restaurants, shopping centers and other public areas.
Since September 2011, a number of foreigners were kidnapped near the border with Somalia. Canadians should be vigilant at all times, monitor local media for current information and ensure that a detailed itinerary is left with family or friends while in the country.
Violent crimes against tourists have been reported throughout the country. On November 4, a tourist was shot and her Kenyan driver was killed in an armed attack on their vehicle near a game park north of Nairobi.
