TRAVEL reports: Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada have issued the following updates on the travel.gc.ca website to the following countries:
Kenya – Exercise high degree of caution
Due to below-average rainfall over the last five years, many regions of eastern Africa, including Kenya, are currently afflicted by severe drought. Specifically, the northern and eastern areas of Kenya ? including Marsabit, Moyale, Wajir, Garissa, Isiolo, and Turkana ? are affected. Travellers should expect difficulties travelling overland. Local services and the availability of water and basic food may be affected. An increase in water-borne diseases has also been reported in these areas due to an increase in the use of contaminated water sources. Travellers should take preventive measures and exercise extreme caution.
