As the Mandalorian would say: This is the way.

Yes, I agree.

Last year I extended my visa online and got 2 months, from the date of application. I needed 3 months, so I went to immigration. There was a woman outside who was doing difficult to...

One of the piki piki guys standing there at Jambo Bora Bora told me it will open this Monday.

That place is Club Mios. On Thursday evenings they have a rhumba live band, Ambro la Musica. After around 10 pm it gets busier and bc rhumba is mostly liked by older (and more monied) people it...

I have had the Little App for a few years now. I put 1000 kes in my Little wallet. Never managed to use it, it's still there. Gave up trying.

Uber and Bolt usually work just fine in NRB, but north...

Ambro + band is at Mios (Bamburi town) on Thursdays. I think he plays somewhere almost every day.

I will check out Amitie Musica one Wednesday when I'm back in Kenya (Sky Lounge, Bamburi town).

Pay with mpesa there once and you'll be sent an sms almost every day keeping you. Informed.

I had a PCR test done (not a rapid / quick test) at the Nairobi West Hospital. Result was emailed to me about 5 h later. Costs: 4500 kes.

I use Knab, a Dutch bank. They're the main reason I stopped using ING. ING charges 1% plus 2.75 EUR per withdrawal.

Maybe for an American. For a European I would recommend using a Maestro debit card and withdraw money at CoOp. Maybe DTB too, I never used it. My EU bank uses the actual exchange rate (yes, I...

Barclays has become Absa now.

No longer linked to the UK Barclays bank.

Using a debit card (with a Maestro logo in my case) your 'home' bank charges you a forex commission (usually a %) + a fixed fee. For me it is 0.5% on the mornings actual EUR / KES rate and a 0 fixed...

ATMs. That work with Maestro ATM cards:

Mtwapa:

- Equity bank.

- I&M Bank, Cooperative Bank. Both in the Mtwapa mall, at the bank office, so quite safe.

Bamburi (village):

I don't think Makuti Hidden Restaurant is still there.

In Mtwapa there is also La Parisienne. Maybe 100 m past Merry Villas and on the other side of the road.

Pretty good food and good pizzas...

From what I have heard locally here, yes.

And not just that. It seems you will only get a 1 month visa. Which can be extended, online only, for 2 months. Unsure if it can be extended beyond that....

When I was in Mombasa earlier this year I had no issues getting generic tadalafil (1000 kes for 4 x 20 MG). They sell the the brand name version too, if you want. Just write what you want on a piece...

Search Google Maps for 'Papillon Beach Apartments, Malindi Road, Mombassa, Kenia'.

It shows me that you can book via Booking.com for 36 EUR / day (standard room, 54 EUR / day for a 'classic' room...

Thank you for the info Neddy69.

Now that I think about it, there's one more visa problem that I may run into: if my staying in Uganda exceeds the end date of my initial 90 days Kenyan VOA, I may...

I did a search here, but I did not find this info. Probably some of the more experienced East Africa travellers have some boots-on-the-ground experience with this.

I plan to visit both Kenya and...

From Bamburi to Moi Airport Uber estimated 1500.1600 kes for me, last januari. Bamburi is closer to the airport than Mtwapa, so 1100. Unlikely.

I offered a driver that I know 2500, because I...
