Members of the Federation of Tour Operators today announced that, following advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office against all but essential travel to Kenya, they are suspending holidays to Kenya with departures up to and including Saturday January 5 due to the current political unrest.

Customers due to fly over the coming days should contact their travel agent or tour operator. Alternative holidays for these customers will be offered where available or refunds of moneys paid. Customers currently in Kenya are being advised of the Foreign Office advice to travellers and are expected to return home on their planned departure dates.

The situation is being reviewed daily and any changes to departures planned after January 5 will be made over the coming days and customers notified in advance.
