Stay in Kampala longer. Music and party scene much more developed. Nairobi nothing interesting after 1 day max. Avoid Carnivore. Could go to Gypsy or Casablanca, but first is a hooker-sih place outside and second is an upscale boring place which charges too much.

I'm not sure of suggestion #5.

(1) It is dirty. No that's a bit of an understatement. It is super dirty... Hmm - even that does not begin to explain it.

(2) It is dangerous. Being taken around by a group of local women in a slum housing some of the worlds most poor and desperate people is actually walking a tightrope.

(3) There is a very high possibility of been sucked into a long ride. The sob stories and all the rest of it are well thought out in order to help you on your way to emptying your pockets - and not to the people who actually need the help.

(4) The open sewers, lack of amenities, lack of emergency services (police, ambulance) - and the fact that your travel insurance may actually be invalidated by this sort of venture would be added to your "worry list".
