Has anyone been to Kenya recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
