Tourism Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua on Wednesday, May 1, stated that all hotels adjacent to rivers should prepare for possible evacuation.
Mutua issued the alert due to the increased downpour that has caused flooding in most parts of the country.
"All hotels and camps adjacent to rivers within national parks and reserves should prepare for potential evacuations should rivers overflow," Mutua stated.
He added that the hotels should also develop clear evacuation, transportation, and hospitality protocols.
"Several camps have been impacted, prompting our coordinated rescue efforts, which have been effective thus far," Mutua added.
Mutua issued the warning after several hotels, lodges and camps in Maasai Mara Game Reserve were submerged.
This was after Telek River burst its banks due to the heavy rainfall being experienced in the area.
Already, different government agencies have been deployed to the scene to evacuate affected staffers and clients in the hotels.
There were no fatalities reported in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve incident although over 120 people have already lost their lives across the country due to the flooding.
The Ministry of Tourism further asked hoteliers in distress not to hesitate to report emergencies through the National Emergency Disaster Helpline: 0800721571.
Kenyans have also been urged not to take unnecessary risks by trying to cross flooded rivers or using makeshift canoes and boats.
Those found taking unnecessary risks will be arrested and charged with attempted suicide or murder.
