Kenya, current travelers info and safety issues?

Specifically the city of Mombassa, and Kenya generally. Any tips on how to stay safe and still see some of the area?

I can't tell you much about the current state- I visited Mombasa about 4 years ago. I know that crime has significally risen, though.
I stayed on Diani Beach and traveled into town on several occasions. It was SO beautiful and the people were great. I'd go back in a second.
One word of caution, b/c it's on the coast mosquitoes are everywhere. We covered up head to toe plus used repellent and my boyfriend ended up with malaria. He was bit 1 time on his pinky finger and that was enough to infect him.
Save travels!

Visit CIA website and find out what they say and reccommend to do for Kenya.

All the best!/
