Q: We are planning to go on safari in Kenya for a week. After the recent turmoil in that country, is it advisable to visit now? - George da Costa (July 2008)
A: Unless something changes drastically, you should have no problems at all. The power-sharing agreement which ended the political violence was signed nearly five months ago and the country is relatively stable and peaceful. However, as with any trip, you should confirm your travel details with the tour operator just before leaving and ensure that you have travel insurance that would cover you if the trip is cancelled or interrupted. During the problems in Kenya, many travellers discovered that "civil unrest" was considered an exclusion in many travel insurance policies.
