I will arrive at the airport in the morning first week of Feb. If I get myself into the city and start looking for a budget hotel or backpackers what will I find. I've just done a quick search on Expedia and I see a lot of very expensive hotels. There must be some small hotels that don't have on line booking. It would be great if there was a few in the $15 to $30 range. Any recommendations. Thanks.

I'm mainly traveling to Kenya to do work with orphanages and to experience the African culture.
I don't really care for the safaris or animals and want real experiences with the Masaai people or any
other African tribe.

Has anyone stayed with the Masaai people or with any tribes throughout Africa?
I'd love to be able to spend a week with a tribe and really be able to experience their REAL culture and
traditions in depth without tours/tourism groups.

If anyone has any info on this that would be…

Hi All, looking for some advice. My GF and I are going to be in Kenya/Rwanda for about 6 weeks in Dec/January and like most safari's we'd like to end up on the beach. We've done research and we know about Lamu, Mombassa, Malindi.

Just wondering if anyone has a beach area that they could recommend besides those 3? Just wanting to see what's all out there!

Thanks

Hi,

I'm planning to visit Samburu or Shaba this weekend (6th April). I'm wondering about the safety of the Nanyuki-Archers post road? I've heard reports of robberies and road blocks. Is it a quiet road or is there a flow of traffic? It's possible that I'll be going alone - my friends need to work and I HAVE to get away from the rain in nairobi!! I'm an expat, female and will be driving with red plates. Do you think I'm asking for trouble? I'm asking around for advice on this, including my…

Just to let Kenya travelers know that there has been a track washout - apparently a serious one - at Mtito Andei which is about halfway between Nairobi and Mombasa. The Monday night train to Mombasa has been canceled. I was told the track bed was destroyed in the flooding and may take some time to repair. Call ahead to Rift Valley Railways before planning a train journey.
