Travel Update

As many of you may have heard, there was a fire at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi last week. No one was hurt in the fire but there was damage to the international arrivals terminal and flights were cancelled for that day. Domestic flights resumed within 24 hours and we are happy to hear that international flights have also been resumed. We have every confidence that services will be back to normal very soon and that any transit issues will be resolved long before the conference start. 

We wish you all a great journey to Mombasa and look forward to welcoming you to the coast.
