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 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
