Thats so tragic. I am going with my family today on safari to Kenya, so really not near this, but also very scarily close. |  | |  |

Hopefully you will be far enough north if you are going to the Masai Mara, the reported attack is seen as a spill over from activity in D R Congo.
That being said, further north in Kenya there has been significant unrest in the past. I travelled through on the way to Ethiopia in 2015 and it felt OK but I was aware of ethnic divisions. More pertinent was the decimation of the way of life of the Samburu as a result of drought.
I didn't feel insecure in Nairobi but we had a pre-booked ride from the airport to the tourist hotel and were then in walking distance of the Giraffe park and baby elephant sanctuary (both of which I would say are unmissable, even though you may be going to see these creatures in a game park.) |  |

I've been making rough plans to go to Uganda Rwanda and the DRC next year to finally see the Silverbacks, this sadly may postpone my plans |  | | |

Thanks for your reply. I am a little clueless on the details as its the wifes arrangement, a night in nairobi, 3 nights in a camp on the Talek River (so in the middle?) then 6 nights at Diani Beach. Everything well researched, pre booked and arranged and Mrs B makes this seamless normally. | | | |
