The United States government has lifted travel warnings issued to its citizens on visit to Kenya’s coastal region.
The US embassy stated that the restrictions to Malindi through Mombasa and Kwale counties, to the Tanzanian border have been lifted.
“There are no longer general restrictions on travel to Malindi city in Kilifi County through Mombasa and Kwale counties to the Tanzanian border,” an email sent to its citizens and staff stated.
The US however restricted its citizens from travelling to towns near Kenya’s border with Somalia, cautioning them against using the Likoni Ferry in Mombasa.
Further, the Americans were advised to visit Old Town in Mombasa only during the day.
The US issued a travel advisory in May this year restricting its personnel from visiting Eastleigh in Nairobi and the coastal counties of Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi and Lamu.
