Nairobi

[Jamie69]

Just booked up for a short 5 night visit again to Nairobi in two weeks time. Can't wait and will report back. Just need to decide where to stay and whether to hook up with contacts from last trip.

1) Mzungu. Is this strictly a term used for white foreigners, or would I be considered a Black Mzungu?

2) Since the ladies seem to be in search of a white companion, How difficult of a time do you suspect me having getting noticed?

3) Being a Black American, do you fore see any ill will towards me? I really try to steer clear of confrontational scenes.

4) Last question and I'll thank you for your time. If you were me, would you venture to Kenya or stick with S. E. Asia?

I met a couple of black guys in Ghana last year and they were having a heck of a time. The way they dressed at night and not least their accent made it easy for the ladies to identify them as foreigners with all the benefits that come along. Wear a cap with a pic of Obama and you'll be fine.

Also, they avoided a lot of street hassle during daytime by dressing somewhat local and keeping their mouths shut, I suggest you do the same. Should you see a potential 'victim' (which you will) it's easy to start something up with a lame excuse like asking for direction. Anything will work.

In Ghana these guys were called 'obrunis' which covers all non-Ghanians though probably mostly used about white people. Not sure if it's the same with mzungu in Kenya though.

It's more than 20 years since I was in Thailand. Great country, great food, great people and pussy available everywhere. But you can't have a meaningful conversation with the girls there like you can in an English speaking African country.

Have fun!

Saw their ad on kenyanlistings, they claim to have Indian, Chinese, Arab and Ethiopian girls.

Anyone tried them?

Any other experience with escort / massage places on that site?

Just curious if there are alternatives to the well-known bars and discos. Thanks.

Do I need to load up before I go or can I get them there?

You can get them there. Durex brand available at all pharmacies and in all permutations.

I just want to say thanks once again for everyone's help and opinions about my future African adventure. I'm 36 and I came to international travel fairly late. When I think of the time and money I wasted in my 20's vacationing in places like New England and Seattle and San Diego. I was visiting zoos for god sake! Damn it, I want all those wasted spring breaks back. The money I dropped in Vegas alone would have covered 3 or 4 trips to Thailand. Please believe me when I say that you guys, and this board, have opened my eyes to the world in a way no geography teacher ever could. I'm aiming for Nairobi in November. I'll return to the board with full details of the carnage. Oh I had one more quick question about condoms in Africa. Do most chemists carry the name brands or the weird off brands like in Thailand. Size Matters but the thought of walking through customs with a bag full of top hats does not appeal to me. Do I need to load up before I go or can I get them there? Thanks again for your patience. Oh and if any of you have any sway over the USA economy, could you make the dollar a bit stronger in November (Smiling).

Cheers,

Whiskey

1) Mzungu is in strict translation a European, but as you guessed correctly it is loosely used for anyone with white skin. As for americans are called marikani in Swahili.

2) You will always be spotted as a foreigner no matter what colour you are, also your accent will give you away easily. Black africans approach women in a different way than anyone else does. Trust me you will get noticed, just due to the fact that you don't blend in.

3) There is generally no beef on the streets unless you do something stupid! So, no worries you are safe, Kenyans are not known for violence towards foreigners.

4) Go Kenya, in my opinion SE-Asian women are lame compared to African women, plus the bodies, just to die for. I guarantee you will always want to come back for more!

Come there you will thank God

I would say you shouldn't have any problems. I was with a black South African and he was fine as he was in the right places buying drinks. Perhaps he didn't get approached so much but in some ways that can be good as you don't end up fending off the unwanted. It is easy to approach someone once you see one you like and your accent (and probably clothes) will mean they will know you are not local. And they just want your cash at the end of the day.

As for Kenya v SEA I have only sampled the delights of Thailand and suffice to say you will have a fucking great time in both places. The difference is that it is not quite so blatent in Kenya with the Thai neon and almost naked girls on the street. But once you are in the clubs it is not so different. Most people choose one or the other based on there preference for black or asian but if you like both (like me) then there is little to choose between them. Enjoy.

Can I get some info on good short term room near simmers or Florida Madhouse. In Mombasa it is easy to find short term room close to every club. Do you how much short term room with cost in nairobi town.

Thanks

Try Terminal Hotel. Not far from either place. Also, there are a couple others near it.

[Ioneto]

Mzungu is a term used for european people, I think derived from english man, as english language in KiSvahili, is KiSungu. Indian People is Muindi and African Muafrica.

Girls aren't in search for white foreigners but for "green" (dollars) friends.

Nobody give You a problem because you're a black American, but take care because not only girls look for your money, but thugs too.

I don't know SEA but I think Africa is incomparable.

Welcome in Africa fantasyworld!

1) You'll surely start out not getting paid much attention to. But that will change in a flash as soon as they notice your accent and see you spending some Benjamins. Cash makes people color blind everywhere.

3) much less likely here than in SEA, I believe.

4) Try Kenya and make your own comparisons.

If I remember a studio is 5500 a night and a 1 BR is around 7, 000 KSh. You can check their prices on their website or email them. They are very good at responding. Haven't been there myself but considering it. Sorry we couldn't hook up, had luck with a few girls off Afro Intro.

Right you are. NOA is an excellent place. If they are booked another good choice is not far from there. Woodmere Apartments. About the same price.
