India offers a rich blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and modern amenities, making it an appealing destination for some of Kenya's 54 million residents. The country attracts a significant number of foreign visitors each year, drawn to its historic landmarks and diverse ecosystems.
India is relatively safe for tourists coming from Kenya. According to the Global Peace Index, India ranks 114th out of 160 countries, which is better than Kenya's ranking of 120th. In terms of murder rates, India has a lower rate of 2.9 per 100,000 people compared to Kenya's 5.3. Female murder rates are also similar, with India at 2.5 and Kenya at 2.6. When considering organized crime, India generally has lower indices than Kenya in several categories, such as mafia groups (3.5 for India vs. 7.0 for Kenya) and foreign crime (3.5 for India vs. 6.5 for Kenya). However, both countries face challenges with human trafficking and drug-related crimes. Overall, while both countries have areas of concern, India presents a safer environment for tourists compared to Kenya based on these statistics.
