Has anyone been to Kenya recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
