Be VERY careful - a city of scams and shakedowns

by Robert_Hun - last update: Nov 18, 2008

Nairobi's landscape

Great accomodation for "great" money

Although quite expensive (cca. 200 USD per night per room arranged by a travel agency), I recommend that you stay in a nice place like Nairobi Safari Club (backpackers, excuse me!). It's really a pleasant way to relax before or after a safari or a sight seeing in this strange city.
Contrasts of Nairobi

Really sharp contrasts

In Nairobi you can find nice and modern buildings (almost skyscrapers) but very poor streets and folk, too.
It's a big mixture of everything that today's Africa can show you.
The climate is very pleasant year-round anyway... :-)
City center

Modern downtown

Pros:"Connections to other destinations, climate, interesting contrasts"
Cons:"Risk of being ripped of, dangerous nights, strange contrasts"
In A Nutshell:"Definitely a place to see at least once but also a place to be definitely careful at."
