Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Kenya as a destination for visitors from Iceland?
Kenya is an appealing destination for some Icelandic travelers, thanks to its stunning savannahs and diverse wildlife. With nearly 3,000 accommodations available, it offers a range of lodging options. Given that around 100,000 Icelanders travel abroad annually, a portion may find Kenya's unique natural and cultural attractions enticing.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Kenya for tourists coming from Iceland?
Kenya's safety for tourists, particularly those coming from Iceland, is a concern. While Iceland ranks 3rd among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, no comparable data exists for Kenya. According to the Global Peace Index, Kenya is ranked 120th out of 160 countries, indicating it is significantly less safe than Iceland, which is considered the safest country. Crime statistics further highlight this disparity. Iceland has a murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, while Kenya's rate is 5.3. Additionally, various indices from the Global Organized Crime Index show that Kenya faces higher risks related to organized crime, with scores ranging from 6.0 to 8.0 in various categories, compared to Iceland's scores, which range from 1.0 to 5.0. In summary, while many tourists visit Kenya safely, it is important for travelers from Iceland to be aware of the higher risks and to take necessary precautions.
