Back home after 5 days in Kenya. Let me share what I found.
Arrival and first impressions: Uber worked perfectly. Checked into my hotel near undefined.
Day 1-2: Explored the area, got the lay of the land. Took time to figure out the scene.
Days 3-5: Had some incredible experiences. The undefined area was surprisingly quiet.
Prices: In line with expectations. Didn't negotiate much.
Tips for others: Bring cash.
Would I go back? Absolutely.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.
