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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
