Technology records what happened. A trained person stops it happening. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Arrange pick-up before you fly. - Avoid accepting rides from strangers at the airport. - Share your plan with one trusted person. Quick answer If you are visiting Kenya after time abroad, plan your arrival before you fly: confirm who is picking you up, use pre-arranged transport rather than strangers, share your itinerary with one trusted person and keep valuables out of sight. Book an escort when you are arriving late, carrying valuables or travelling with children and elderly relatives.
