The UK government has lifted its warning against travelling to part of Kenya's coast, including Mombasa, the BBC reported Friday.

The Foreign Office previously warned against all but essential travel to almost all of the country's Indian Ocean coastline.

Warnings remain in place for part of the coast and anywhere within 60km (37 miles) of the border with Somalia due to a "high threat from terrorism".

Warnings also remain in place for areas including Nairobi's Eastleigh suburb.
