Kenya offers a unique blend of natural and cultural attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Moroccan travelers. With nearly 3,000 accommodations available, it provides diverse lodging options. Out of the 600,000 Moroccans traveling abroad annually, a portion may be inclined to explore Kenya's vast savannahs and exotic wildlife.
Kenya's safety for tourists, including those from Morocco, is a concern based on various crime statistics. The Global Peace Index ranks Kenya 120th out of 160 countries, indicating it is less safe than Morocco, which ranks 76th. In terms of murder rates, Kenya has a higher rate at 5.3 per 100,000 people compared to Morocco's 1.9. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Kenya at 2.6 and Morocco at 0.5. The Global Organized Crime Index further highlights the differences in crime environments. For instance, Kenya scores significantly worse in various categories, such as mafia groups (7.0), crime networks (7.5), and human trafficking (7.5), compared to Morocco, which scores much lower (1.0 for mafia groups and 6.5 for crime networks). Overall, while many tourists visit Kenya without incident, it is advisable for travelers from Morocco to remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings.
