How do you identify the ones who are Luhya? Do you just ask girls until you stumble across one, or is there an easier way? I can't differentiate Kenyan girls by tribe just by looking at them.

I have been in Kenya 20 years. You can get an idea from looks and demeanor but it is not failsafe and as Kenyans always lie. If you know some sentences / dialect from language then you can know for sure. Ie some pronounce an are as an l. Heavy boned, probably a luo)) slim and darker move up to northern tribes. I know some Kamba so can usually nail them easily.

Comes down to experience and if you have an interest in picking up local bits of culture.

I find it hard to tell the difference too. They can tell tho. All the girls tend to have huge forheads but IMHO Kikuyus suffer from this the most.

If you know the last name Luo last names typically start with "O" for example Obama, Odinga.

I never go over 2 K, and most of the time it's 1500 KES. That includes public transportation, I don't pay for car service, only sometimes when it rains, and she is in the rotation and if I like her enough to do something together. Such as the last time when we went together to the elephant orphanage. I don't get it, but some of my girls didn't have umbrellas, and they were worried that if heir head becomes wet they get sick. Therefore, they didn't take public transportation, so I just let them use a car service. I ended up buying them umbrellas, and now they are using them. I only have Luhya girls, I find them the most humble girls. The most financially humble girls, I should say. Didn't have good experience with Luo girls, I find them suffering from superiority complex or some form of feminist thinking. I also like to take my Luhya girls for a kuku and chips sometimes or white coffee, samosa etc. After, so that adds up another 1 k. I don't care about "high class" girls, I avoid them like a plaque. I did it once, and she was worse than a white feminist *.

I think that's about right especially if this is a repeat girl. I will only pay for transport if I don't want to wait a million years for her to arrive. Those matatus are hit or miss. She will start to get 1000 kes flat. As for those "high class" creatures of brew bistro they can stay right where they are. I don't know about you fellas but as a gen x coming from the west I find it very easy to find women in nbo. If one doesn't want to play ball there are a million behind them. They know it too. The only time I will go slightly above is if I come across a girl that's exactly my type. And still no more than like 3 k. I know girls who have wazungus sending them 100 usd+ from overseas. I have seen the transfers. Just ridiculous.

Girls with a steady income stream will always go for the kill with silly money demands hoping they have hooked an idiot who will pay it. I have never heard $1000 asked for but have had a few at $2-300. I do not even bother responding to such stupidity.

I think the most I have ever paid any girl in Kenya is 5 k, that is for 1-2 hours as I never do longer. I usually pay 2-3 k.

Never bother with the dinner thing either.

Another vote for world remit. Easy breezy.

I use Wise first, World Remit and Remitly as back ups in Kenya.

[World Jockey]

Please, advise, how to pay MPESA from Germany, not having Kenyan phone number.

Why would you need to?

[Neddy69]

You can use for example World Remit. I don't know if you need to register or not, I have registered, I have account in World Remit, easy to create, for free.

You choose Kenia as destination, then you choose Mobile Money as way to delivery, that is Mpesa.

Then you add reveiver name and number, Mpesa account is same as phone number.

Then it asks your credit card number etc. Normal electric payment procedure.

You don't need to have Safaricom sim card or anything in Kenya. I have delivered money several times to Kenya this way.

I have seen with Western Union that they have also some "Mobile Wallet" as one way to deliver, when you choose Kenya as destination. But I have never tried that, probably work same way.

This is a Paybill number. That means it's used to pay bills with mPesa. You can use World remit only to transfer money to a mobile phone number. NOT a Paybill number. So it is NOT possible to pay your train ticket with World Remit. In order to pay a Kenya railways Ticket you need a valid mPesa mobile money account. Easiest is after you arrive in Yomo Kenyatta take a Bolt to the train station. First class is almost never full. Pay cash.

Sorry, but metickets dot krc dot co dot ke shows the Inter County Train 08: AM.

When arriving 03:00 in Nairobi, plenty of time. I enjoy sightseeing from train.

There is a daily 8 am departure from Nbo to Msa.

[Reiner Otto]

at 8 am when you are looking there is no departure

[SceticoBlu]

Mpesa can be obtained at the airport but for the reason below I advise you not to take the train at all and at 8 am when you are looking there is no departure, only at 3 pm.

Not possible.

Or I don't see how. Mpesa is a Safari com service, they request a safaricom sim to work, so you need to be in Kenya to use mpesa.

Not possible to buy madakara train tickets from outside country or via travel agencies maybe.

[Reiner Otto]

With Safaricom Madarakatrain booking can be done by *639# and Payment with MPESA. Bolt has often an edge over Uber in Kenya. Other taxis are lore expensive. Matatu is cheaper. By food is cheapest.
