It isn’t the country that’s dangerous.
It’s certain moments.
- Alone by the road at night
- Your phone at an open window in a traffic jam
- A taxi you haven’t checked
- A stranger who suddenly puts pressure on you
Anyone who lives in Kenya knows these moments. The Kompass shows you how to recognise and resolve them.
Stay calm
in 3 steps.
- 01
Recognise
Is the situation normal, unclear or dangerous? You learn to assess it correctly.
- 02
React
You know what to say and do. And what you’d better not do.
- 03
Get help
You know whom to call and what evidence you need to collect.

Questions
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. You download the file before your trip. After that you don’t need internet any more.
Does it replace insurance or a doctor?
No. You find out what you can do and whom to call. It does not replace insurance, a doctor or a lawyer.
Do I get personal help via WhatsApp?
No. You get the file, not personal advice. In return you can use it yourself at any time, without an appointment.
How up to date is it?
Every file has a date. Check rules such as entry and fees on the official websites shortly before your trip. The links are included.
