Kenya is an appealing destination for Greek travelers, known for its expansive savannahs and diverse wildlife. With a robust tourism infrastructure featuring nearly 3,000 accommodations, it offers a variety of lodging options. Among the 2 million Greeks who travel abroad annually, a portion may find Kenya's unique natural and cultural attractions enticing.
Kenya's safety for tourists, including those from Greece, is a concern compared to Greece. While Greece ranks 40th in safety among European countries, Kenya is ranked 120th out of 160 countries according to the Global Peace Index. In terms of crime statistics, Greece has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Kenya's 5.3. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Greece at 0.6 and Kenya at 2.6. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Kenya faces challenges with organized crime, scoring higher (worse) in various categories compared to Greece. For example, Kenya scores 7.0 for mafia groups and 8.0 for state crime, while Greece scores 3.0 and 7.5 respectively. Overall, while many tourists visit Kenya safely, it is advisable for travelers from Greece to remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings.
