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.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

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

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
