Wajir has significant security considerations and a social structure that's essentially closed to foreign men without specific local knowledge or professional purpose.
Lower score (below 6)
Wajir is a remote northeastern Kenya town with active security concerns and a social environment that is completely inaccessible to foreign men without specific local ties. Not a destination.
