Nairobi Resorts - Reviews and Rates

So I arrived in Nairobi, feeling slightly rough after a very bumpy flight but somehow managed to find my way to my base for the night - The Wildbeest Camp. Arrived and thought, Ok I can do this, there are hot showers, my "tent" is actually some luxury affair with a proper bed, lights, power etc... and then came dinner, some sort of chop with gre...

After saying goodbye to my new great friend, Salva, boarded a bus bound for Nairobi at 4pm in Moshi. Learned that it will arrive late a night, not in the morning as I was first told. My worry at reaching one of the most dangerous cities in Africa is relieved by a helpful taxi driver who walks me to a nearby pension. The bus ride took longer than...

Today we must leave Samburu, and we are heading for Nairobi, to spend the night. Horrible roads again, with just a short stop at a road shop for going to toilet, and we arrive in Nanyuki, the only possible stop to have lunch on the way to Nairobi (Oddis said). We are in time to walk for one hour and visit some local shops before lunch. Very poor...

Arrived far apart of my planed route at Nairobi, I take the chance to get in touch with many other overlander travelers at legendary Jungle Junction (S 01 17,325 / E 036 45,635 - jungle_junction_nairobi@yahoo.com), a traveler's oasis in the city.
According to my updates I will enter my last stage of my ...

Arrived on Friday in Nairobi and tried to go and get my camera fixed (ended up costing 4000ksh/35 pounds - at least it works now) We went to the saturday tourist market and I bought many cheap earrings and a necklace - about 1 pound each. On Sunday most things are closed apart from restaurants. We went up to Westlands - a suburb of Nairobi as we...

Well, the guys were right. Today was increadibly different, on a variety of levels. This morning I slept in (I have my wakeup call at 10 so I don't miss the free breakfast), then got dressed and went shopping. I hired a car to take me to Village market, where the Masaai market was being held. The Masaai market is the biggest market in Kenya, whe...

Finally have escaped the grasp of Uganda!! Hurrah!!! Got on a bus in Kampala at 6.30am and even though it was comfy enough and stopped a few times, with the bumby roads and sheer duration, my poor bum was well sore by the time we pulled into Nairobi at 7pm that evening! Loved the scenery ans the sights along the way though. Amazing!! Kenya reall...

I also wondered why ever country that I've been to mentions how their sense of time is much more laid back. Compared to who? Perhaps it's just America that is faster, but even Kenyans admit that time is slow here. I could definitely agree with some of the experiences I've had with customer service. The cafeteria people at USIU are the most apath...

We fly down overnight to Nairobi and arrive at The Stanley hotel for an a day of nice hotel life before 7 days straight of camping - and lots of animals and the like. We wander around Kenyatta Ave for a bit as the touts try and convince us to sign-up for their safaris and then enjoy and afternoon by the pool and a drink at the colonial-style bar...

Landed in Nairobi at 9pm last night, oh my god!!!!!! The pilot says to us, 'welcome to Nairobi, the local time is 9pm, and it is 20 degrees Celsius outside', can you imagine that heat at night. After about 1 hour waiting for the bags to arrive, I was met by my driver. There were 2 others from the uk, Guy and Louise, also staying in the same hote...
