Elimu would like to acknowledge news reports of an explosion at a shopping centre in Nairobi earlier today. The cause of the blast is not yet known; Kenyan police stated this afternoon that it may be due to an electrical fault in the building rather than an act of terrorism.
Foreign Office advice on travel to Kenya remains the same. The FCO said on 28 May:
The overall level of the advice has not changed. We advise against all but essential travel to within 60km of the Somali border (including Kiwayu and coastal areas north of Pate Island), to Garissa district and to low income areas of Nairobi, including all township or slum areas.
The Foreign Office website now includes a map of Kenya highlighting exactly which parts of the country it advises against travelling to; our trips are not affected by this. Please click on the map below to enlarge:
With best wishes,
Jo
