Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
Returning to Kenya after 3 years — what's different?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.
