Executive Protection in Nairobi: Security for Business and Aid Work in East Africa
Nairobi is Sub-Saharan Africa's main business hub outside South Africa, home to UNEP, UN-Habitat, the Nairobi Securities Exchange and a growing tech scene. The Blackwolf Group Global provides executive protection and advice for clients attending African Union summits, the East Africa Business Summit and meetings with Kenyan government investment bodies.
Risk in Kenya is raised. Al-Shabaab is active across East Africa, kidnapping gangs work along the Rift Valley, and international aid and embassy staff are specifically targeted.

Threat picture
Nairobi at the elevated risk band
Nairobi carries real risk: international visitors can be targeted, and wealthy guests are often watched. When officials are involved in a visit, planning gets more complex. From the moment you confirm, our team checks your routes and venues before you arrive and writes a daily threat brief, updated throughout the job.
Our risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
