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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Best time to visit Kenya

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

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

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?
