I stayed out until 2:30 this morning in Nairobi. I was one of the first to leave. Where was this announced?

I entered Kenya Wednesday and asked the Immigration officer if the extension procedure changed. The extension remains unchanged. You can go through the eFNS site and apply for a free extension. Even...

Is it on a website or through your contact? EVISA was formerly free on the eCitizen site but initially automatically approved for 60 days, as I've tried to explain multiple times. If you go through a...

I submitted an eTA on Sunday afternoon and it was in my email box approved Tuesday morning. The website was simpler and the total cost was less than $35. It took my credit card without issue. Just...

I live in Africa and I get myself into the most stupefying situations I can't explain why I did what I did. It happens.

Everyone just listen to him. I'm retiring from this site.

Have you ever been to Africa?

I spent about a week exploring various Kigali neighborhoods. I went out with two other residents at my guesthouse to Nyamurambu. Nyamurambu is the Muslim neighborhood but also has some nightclubs...

I use Booking.com for the first night in new locations. I move around until I find a location I want to stay then do some leg work. When booking, it varies. If booking for two is similar cost as for...

Can you get it in Kenya for 300 - 600 KSh?

I'm in Rwanda now, I'll check.

Credit card is accepted at the airport for visa payment and is very efficient. Not every nationality has to pay. Some nationalities are allowed entry visa free the first 30 days. Americans pay $50...

This is just day 2 so correct me if I'm wrong. I’m learning. Today is Umuganda. Rwandans are required by law to participate on the last Saturday of every month from 8-11. I don’t have all the...

Thanks Cool, I arrived in Rwanda yesterday and set up MTN and a momo account. Mobile money is widely accepted in Rwanda. I use WorldRemit to add money.

Also, for Americans, a visa on arrival is...

Sleeping pills: Bring them from home. You need a doctor's prescription and even then, they're hard to find. Sex helps me sleep.

Prep: Ask the pharmacist (chemist) to set you up with a doctor....

For me, I'd leave on principle. You're not committing any crime and Tourist Police won’t track you down. I doubt he was a police anyhow. Get a hotel then find an apartment finding agency to help...

For newcomers, the coast is set up better for tourists so, try Bamburi Beach, Diani Beach or Malindi. Its hot and humid. Its no Pattaya, however.

I want to spend some time near Thika near Kenyatta...

Good catch. I meant agree to terms up front. I'm the worst editor of my own posts.

For those who spend time in Rwanda, do you prefer to get a VoA or eVISA or do you even need a VISA for the first 30 days? Can you get the multi-entry visa on arrival? Information websites about...

When you deal with pros, absolutely pay up front.

When you deal with non pros, I never mention money. I just send it to her what I want and she's wet.

I should point out that if you’re young...

If you're coming from the Americas for just one week, I would stick to one location. You'll be jet lagged the entire trip and spend too much time on the move.

Nairobi is high altitude and cool,...

Keep trying the eVISA site. Try at an off hour. Sometimes their wimpy servers are inadequate for high volume. Good luck, sincerely.

Perhaps fly to TZ and get a visa on arrival and cross a land...

I opened the link and tried to fill out my info. The website states it in the rotating header.

You apply for the eVISA before 27 December. You apply for the eTA 27 December onward.

There's supposed to be a mobile app.

Yes Zim, you nailed it. I think the area is known as Posta. What old wazunga say and do is irrelevant to me also and my response is not meant to offend anyone. However, I shared my impression as a...

I never said there's nothing to do or complained about cost. I can find things to do in the Western region where I'm the only mzungu and Mtwapa and the coast offers much more opportunity than those...
