Current pricing for Kenya:
Short Time: Budget $39-89, Mid $60-139, Premium $175+
Long Time/Overnight: $145-332
Massage with extras: $33-95
These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Online bookings are generally cheaper than walk-ins.
Tipping is optional but earns you better service.
Best value: early evening before the rush.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.
