Nairobi Hotels - Reviews and Rates

we have been traveling past 1.5 weeks with &beyond , http://www.andbeyond.com/ , formerly called CC Africa (Conservation Corporation) . Its basically the elegant side of the wild. they do crazy stuff like have a mobile camp in the serengeti that tracks the migration and sets up tents with couches, full toilets, hot water showers under the st...

Our time in Nairobi is almost finished. The team on Friday did some sightseeing and shopping and the same was true for Saturday. In between those activities, they sandwiched in some meetings with locals who shared with us all more about life in Kenya and how we can help after we are gone. The team's health has been excellent and we have our debr...

Today was a travel day. I was up at 06:00 so I could have breakfast when the restaurant opened at 06:30. Jacob arrived at the hotel with a car and driver at 06:45 and we were on the road to the airport by a little after 07:00. Sunday morning is a good time to be on the roads. Traffic is light and people sleep in a little so there is little conge...

Kawangware Slum - Outer Nairobi (Pictures to follow next week...my camera batteries croaked...) website to visit: www.rhemahopechildren.org I've been in Kenya a month now and I decided this past week that I needed to volunteer - to get out and into neighborhoods that are far away from the tidy, middle-class neighborhood that I call home right no...

Listening to the news around here is starting to freak me out a bit. It turns out there's a locust cloud moving through Kenya at the moment, eating everything in its path. In Uganda, just across the border, there's an outbreak of Ebola virus. Sounds like time for me to leave! Today was an okay day. I slept in abit (but not too late - I want desp...

So our neighborhood lost power last night in the middle of me trying to post a new blog. We're in town right now on our way out to safari for the weekend, so you'll just have to wait until Monday to hear about our last few days of work! In short, a team of doctors came to set up a free clinic for the slum and we got to help them out - it was rad...

'It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog...' There have been many a song on our lips over the past four days, as we have got down to serious work in the Muranga district in Kenya. We were greeted by the structure of the library that has come leaps and bounds since the students work last year. I asked Karyn Mitchell if she ...

I'm back! I went on a 4 day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. It was awesome. The first day we spent about 5 hours driving from Nairobi and arrived around 4 p.m. to Maasai Mara national park. We drove around for about 2 hours since the park closes at 6:30 and then headed to a Maasai village campsite where they had tents set up and we sl...

On Kenya I was feeling fairly confident about going to Kenya. I figured if I could handle Dubai, Kenya would be no problem. About an hour before landing in Nairobi, I was reading through the Rough Guide: Kenya about places to stay there, along with the introductory section with an overview of the city. First thing it says is "Nairobi is the most...
