Nairobi

[BKKguy]

I have stayed in Hotel Kipepeo in River Road in CBD. Nice hotel, clean, safe and descent brkfast.

$52 is a standard room and $70 is for a slightly larger room.

Difference? Standard rooms are street facing and are loud. There is no aircon in this facility so you need to keep the windows open. Street facing rooms are too loud. So, other times I ask for a more spacious room facing the alley in the back. Those are the $70 / night rooms.

Hotel is GF. Just inform the desk clerk that you intend to bring over someone. If they don't pass the night you will not be charged double occupancy. Or slip the doorman some bobs and they will look the other way when you head upstairs.

Good hotel, but being in the middle of CBD there's lots of traffic.

If you want to stay in Westlands, also consider the Progressive Park Hotel. It's located next to WestLake Mall (across from Ukay Centre, on Mwanzi Road).

It's actually an old appt complex where you can rent a one bedroom (furnished) flat for $100 / night. 2 bedrooms go for $220 / night. Free wifi, gym and B&B. It's very clean and safe. Also GF (I guess?) since I never stop by the lobby when going up to my flat, I just bring girls up there with no problems.

Happy hobbying-

Guy.

Jiggydus. Thanks for your input aswell. I didn't say I paid ladies $100 per nite. I don't pay per nite. What I was saying is that I have a girlfriend there in Kenya, so that eliminates the per nite price that you say I am driving up and spoiling the scene. I was saying that I pay $100 per nite for the hotel I stay in, it's a very decent hotel, free internet, cheap lanudry, good television, a resturant with good cheap food, good security and a very good location. What I stated said nothing about paying a woman. I was strictly stating hotel information. As for throwing money away, I don't do that, maybe thats the reason I can pay $100 a nite for a decent hotel for me and my lady to relax and enjoy our time together. I have never knocked anyone for where they stay, everyone has a budget they have to stick to so they can enjoy without going broke. I have stayed in $50 a nite hotels, $20 a nite hotels even Hostiles, I used to stay at my girlfriends apartment until she took on a roomate.

Jiggydus. Please read my posts again and let me know where it said I pay a woman $100 per nite because that would be a little absurd in Kenya or most other African nations. I have worked and lived in Africa for the past 20 years so I am up to date. Hell I even know how much a semester of college cost there in Kenya!

Its not me driving the prices up,

My apologies. I used the wrong figure. Actually I was pinpointed on the 5000ksh that some ladies request as a starting amount. When I was in Mombasa, this supposed "student" I met in Casaurina (yeah we all know that the only students that hang out at Casaurina are pH. D hoes) asked me for 4500ksh. I said no way and only passed her 1200ksh plus 200ksh for taxi (total of 16USD). I even let her enjoy the breakfast the guesthouse provided for one person. I left out and went back to my hotel. But if more punters agree to 5000ksh (60USD) just because they are 1) drunk. 2) think the lady is world class fine, or 3) sympathetic to her hardships and want to be the knight in shining armor at least for the night or week, it does have a cascading effect since these women DO TALK with each other and share pertinent INTEL. Like how much they are able to score from the muzungos. So when a good percentage of punters, be they Italian, Asian, Europeans, American, or South African start pricing up the market, the affect will be felt by all who come afterward. The trend can be seen in many places that used to be excellent mongering locations but not so much now. Like Brazil, Bali, etc.

Additionally, I am currently in AC right now and I have seen altruistic, well-off "mongers" splashing cash on the bar girls. One of them happened to be a black guy and I guess he was trying to personally change the perception that black men are stingy tippers. So he took to tossing 50php bills toward a throng of bar girls in One Eyed Winch. Almost caused a major commotion and stampede as girls dashed from the other side of the bar and from the stage down to grab what they could. Well, I was doing nothing of the sort. I operate more like the smart Koreans (not the cash flashers but the cheap charlie koreans who get to the club as soon as the shift changes, buys themselves just a drink, make their pick of the gems available, bar fine her and then go off to have their fun). I am sympathetic to people's hardships but realize that just one person CANNOT solve or improve their plight (hell, multimillionaire lottery winners have gone bankrupt trying to do just that!). I believe the school of thought of making people use their ingenuity and work ethic to earn their keep is a better option than charity. So that thought is why I adhere to respecting the local economy. I have no beef about where a person chooses to lay their head for the night and I like others do have standards. I just am offended when a hotel in Africa tries to charge an exorbitant rate for what I consider basic accommodations which is a clean room, clean running hot water, an AC, and TV. I have been able to obtain that plus free broadband internet access here in AC for only 37USD per night. You can't find that at that price in Africa because of all of the corruption (informal taxation). So when in Africa, I settle for slightly less than ideal accommodations (I. E. No internet access) and pay around 50USD.

Lastly, I was not attacking you. What you do is your business. And again I own up to my mistake so let's go forth and monger in peace!

I forgot to mention that it is true that the average salary for most service sector workers is 100USD. Those working in professional jobs do earn more, but even then I have found the average to be about 600USD. So it is indeed absurd to pay a lady 100+USD per night as if she even just logs 15 days of paid action, that would be more than double the going wage of even most professional workers who work in finance, medical, engineering, etc.

Insite Kenya. You having local websites for escort service. This prices are 1000ksh / one h. End remember that this are prices. 50procent for the girls.

Yes. 10 procent from workers in Kenya having more than 10. 000ksh / month. Also the president having 20. 000 EURO / one month. One schoeclainer have 20ksh for 20 minutes hard work.

[Jiggydus]

Willyboy. Thanks for your input. But I am not Kenyan so my standards are maybe different. Normal Kenyan worker, not sure what you consider Normal but I consider my girlfriend a Normal Kenyan worker and she pulls in much more than $100 per month. If I was just going for a short time / quickie maybe I would try the Normal Kenyan places, but I am there every 3 months and I enjoy a nice place to stay. It's within my budget! Every man knows his limits.

Having worked and vacationed in West and East Africa, I will say that the only time I would stay in 100+USD hotels is if my organization is footing the bill (work requirements often dictate this to be the case. Internet access, restaurant, meeting rooms, etc). But when I go for personal reasons, I only seek out 50USD hotels. I have noticed that women do up their asking price / accepted donation when one stays in the higher end hotels. Yet I have been able to score 9 and 10 rated women whether I stayed in best or even low budget hotel. The main difference was that I did not get badgered for more or the "this is not enough" when the deed was done. So continue spoiling the scene. I hope you have as deep pockets as some government workers. However, for us practical private sector business people, I will respect the local economy and gift accordingly. Right now, I am cheap charlie-ingly my way in AC, but will be back to West and East Africa in a few months.

Also, the last time I talked to some ladies in Mombasa, Nairobi, and Kampala, they mentioned that some muzungos disrespect the local people when they come in throwing their money around. Some are willing to take what they can get, but they still see it as disrespect. And it contributes to the differential pricing in everything as it relates to foreigners and locals.

I have been staying at Chester House for some years now. I always enjoy it there and it's in the city centre so everything is near. I think a basic room runs around $100 per nite.

Never did I have had a chance to choose from such a huge selection just available.

Florida on the first floor just besides the Gas Station is the place to start with. Have girls there from all over Africa, available in all shapes and sizes. Always fix the rate before you leave. I was in Nairobi for about a month and whenever I have hit the place have never been disappointed.

Gypsy is one place where you can hang out. This place is to get picked and not to pick up. You will find some pros but the crowd which comes to this place are mostly expats, a very decent place with some space made available for the dance floor.

Artcaffe the coffee shop on the ground floor of the westgate shopping mall is a another place to hang out where you can fish out some good gems if you are lucky enough. I was able to hit the Jackpot thrice there. Also the whole shopping mall has other places to hangout and try your luck.

I did also hit on the other regular places mentioned in this forum but was left wnting for quality at almost all of them.

Happy hunting.

Hello, I am flying into Nairobi this summer and was wondering if anyone could tell me where they have the women with the biggest asses. Nairobi or Mombasa. I like lightskinned women but I will settle for a dark one with a BIG ass. Which ones are friendlier? I hear Mombasa is cheaper but I am not sure. Is there a problem bringing my girl in for the night and is it easy for a white man to pick up a regular girl. Or should I say how easy is it. What should I look out for? I hear some girls will drug you and rob you.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Sentrim 680 Hotel?

One year ago I was staying at 680 and had some trouble with the floor guards to bring a girl to my room, even during daytime! However, as soon as the cuty was duly registered at the reception, it was no problem at all! I assume it is still the same today, isn't it!

Cheers!

Sounds interesting, quick googlemaps check shows the Silver Springs Hotel at the end of that road.

Is that a monger friendly, or too upmarket? (in Africa?)

If I've only a couple of days this sounds like a good hunting area.

Haven't been in the Silver Springs for ages. It's not a bad hotle, but unless it's changed, it's definitely not too up-market. I don't remember there ever being many girls IN the hotel. But there are always several just across the road near the petrol stations, and in the shopping area.

DON'T go to the Gracia / Grace House just behind the YaYa. It is full of Christian missionaries.
