My experience with Nairobi is mixed, but I will come back.
To start with cons:
# it is not for the faint of heart. You will see poverty, crime if you're careless. Some people will stop you begging for money or trying to con you. You will not be able to walk after dark if you want to stay safe.
# hotels are expensive and not great (apart from safari lodges)
# girls may demand money that way or another
# poor infrastructure, awful traffic jams and pollution
# there is a potential for terrorist attacks
Pros are considerable, too, though:
# parks and natural attractions are in the city itself. Only to mention Karura Forest where you can unwind, bike, game girls, observe monkeys, all in a safe environment. There is also a proper national park in the city where you can drive with Uber haha
# decent shopping malls are within easy reach
# girls are all happy to meet you and open for anything
Nairobi is still very much an uncharted territory in terms of foreign tourism (apart from maybe safaris, Nyali Beach and Diani Beach). Go if you are a seasoned guy, don't go if you have not travelled extensively elsewhere before.

I'll go for a week in October. Looking forward to it a lot. I'll probably stay in the Westlands, seems like a good area. If anyone is around let me know, although I'll be short on time.

great datsheet.
i got two question
1) when you delete tinder and reopen it with new facebook.
do you pay every time to tinder plus?
i don't get it, i have read the tinder threads many times
i understand that when u open new tinder you get newbie boost. but it means u need to buy tinder subscription every time aswell??
2) do u know that if you change change location
while using the tinder plus(not while spoofing) does it gives u boost aswell?

I was in Nairobi from 26 to 28 dec. Only met up with my Tinder girl, and spent all my days with here (biking in Faruka Forrest and do a National Park visit). We met at Brew Bistro. It's a nice place, bit more upscale. Saw some good girls there.
We also hit Gypsies around the corner, which was totally deserted. It was boxing day though, so the city was deserted in general.
My girl said that almost all girls that you meet in nightlife are working girls. When you ask 'hows it going', they answer with a price. It even happened to her when she just wanted to give a compliment on a girl's hair. lol
From a first look, I liked the Kenian girls better than Ugandan ones. Better curves.

Did you use an Airbnb?
I wouldn't recommend hotels as I reckon they could raise an issue if you have too many girls coming over. I had a nice apartment in the heart of Westlands with a shared gym and pool. There was also security but their job isn't to cock block you however, they did stare at me quite a lot each time I entered the building with a new girl.

Tragic incident. Crazy thing I was at a cafe in the Dusit centre just over two weeks ago... so it was surreal watching that on the news as this attack had been planned for some time. It did make reconsider whether I should go back to Nairbobi.

Yeah, tragic news about the attack. I considered staying at that hotel a few months ago, but something in the back of my head screamed 'high value' target and I went with something more under the radar. I really wouldn't trust alot of the security at these bars, hotels, restaurants, etc if shit went down. Some of them sleep on their rifles, others aren't even armed. Shame because you can have a great time partying in the city.

I am still going. Stuff like that happens all the time here in the United States except it’s not some Muslim. It’s some crazy guy that lost his girlfriend or something. Then he decides to go to Las Vegas and shoot the place up.

I recommend apartments tbh... more discrete and I think girls like it more. Get a decent apartment with a pool and a lounge area.
Yeah you're right about these incidents. Here in London we've had 3 terror attacks in 1 year... doesn't make my life stop lol. You can't eliminate all risks in life I guess. My only concern is the incompetent authorities and the way they handle these things.
I haven't been to Mombasa which is a shame as I've been to Kenya twice in the space of 6 months. I got too caught up in Nairobi and the girls there haha that I couldn't be arsed to there. Also it was insanely busy during the festive season so I was recommended by a few of the girls not to go.
Also, CBD area has some great cafes and food places for 1/3rd the prices of Westlands. The only thing I hate about CBD is that it's just pure chaos! Do not get an apartment or hotel there... It's not worth it. Westlands is the place to be around Mpaka road or Westlands road if you're solo or dolo. If you're in a group then some villas in lavington which is close to westlands is your best bet.

CBD not worth it because you'll have trouble to come and go whenever you want due to the traffic chaos or in what regard?
Checked Westlands but airbnb is already pretty much sold out. I'll see what I can still get though.
Any advice on screening out pros on tinder? The app is exploding, it's almost unreal.

Hey guys
Been in Nairobi quite a few times, as well as Mombasa, Diani and some Nature trips. Its a hidden gem IMO.
Acutally i prefer Kilimani nowadays to Westlands. Quite a few cool places are there like Onyx, Space, Kiza. Westlands has still more places but in terms of logistics as long as you live within 15min drive in a decent area (kilimani, lavington Hurlingham, kileleshawa are all good) I would not restrict myself to Westlands. I agree do not stay in the center CBD - its annoying bc of the street kids and very chaotic in terms of traffic.
Will be there again this coming week. If anybody needs specific intel info or wants to meetup ping me.
