Kenya’s tourism sector is operating normally. The country’s health and tourism authorities reiterate that there are no current confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Kenya. The development comes at a time when regional attention has been elevated about Ebola outbreaks reported in neighbouring Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, nudging Kenyan authorities to strengthen vigilance and safety measures, especially through entry points.

Muthaiga Travel, a destination management company with expertise in East African travel experiences, has exhibited its firm belief in Kenya’s tourism ecosystem. The company works closely with tourism authorities to ensure visitors’ access to genuine information and truly immersive travel experiences.

Kenya’s Ministry of Health has confirmed that the country is free of Ebola cases. The country has elevated its screening capabilities along with supply of adequate laboratory infrastructure to ensure precaution against any unforeseen situation. It is mindfully vigilant about the border crossings and is maintaining strong border health security. Kenya is screening a massive number of 80,000 travellers at various entry points, wherein all suspected cases tested in the country have shown a negative result.

Speaking on the current situation, Mira Bid, Managing Director of Muthaiga Travel said, “Kenya is Ebola-free, and open to welcome global travellers. The country’s health authorities have unveiled key protocols to ensure seamless tourism activities. We encourage travellers to stay informed through official channels to make informed decisions. With Kenya’s expansive travel attractions including wildlife, landscapes, culture and hospitality, we look forward to welcoming more travellers from across the world in the coming times.”

Kenya’s Tourism industry leaders are encouraging travellers and trade partners to depend on verified information provided by health agencies only, and not to trust rumours spreading on other social media channels. The authorities are also assuring that the hospitality and recreational products remain unaffected with stringent precautionary measures.

Kenya has struck a seamless coordination between various bodies and stakeholders to safeguard both residents and visitors from the virus. Contemporary screening protocols, traveller awareness initiatives and robust surveillance systems are bolstering the country’s ongoing preparedness strategy.

Kenya offers one-of-its-kind wildlife experiences, globally celebrated safari experiences, serene beaches, lively cultural experiences and business travel opportunities hassle-free. Key attractions including Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Nairobi,  Diani Beach, etc., in the country and are readily accessible to guests.
