Returned from 12 days in Kenya. Great trip overall.
Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $46/night. Quiet area but close to the action.
Scene:
Busy and well-organized. Prices were slightly higher than expected.
Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 3 encounters total.
Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Eating out was very affordable.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 7.5/10. Already planning next trip.
Happy to answer any questions.

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

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.
