Campbell also shared a message for tourists worried about safety in Kenya, reassuring them that Kenya is a safe and beautiful tourist destination.
In an interview with journalists at Malindi's Lion in the Sun Beach resort, she said: “Many people discouraged me from coming to Kenya, saying the country was not yet safe to visit. But I insisted that I would come and here I am. I feel quite safe."

The supermodel went on to say: "I didn't feel anything different from the way I have felt during my previous visits. There is tranquility here. People should not shy away from visiting Kenya. Life in Kenya is natural and beautiful."
Campbell has visited Kenya several times before and her destination of choice is mostly Malindi. her most recent visit was in January 2014 when she holidayed with her ex-boyfriend, Italian billionaire Flavio Briatore.

Kenya's tourism promotion agency, Magical Kenya, says Campbell's visit and message is a boost to Kenya's tourism because tourists are still worried about safety in view of Al-Shabaab threats as well as the after effects of the 2007 post-election violence.
