I'm happy to know that you love and encourage visitors to come to Kenya. Kenya is the best place to come and visit and explore in the whole world. Also remind them to seek for drone licences here in the airport, I'm so disappointed nowadays seeing them being confiscated until one is leaving the country. Also don't go recording with your camera's in town's, you'll be arrested in suspicion of terrorism. Otherwise all are welcome to Kenya. I remain Mkenyamwenyewe😜😁
