So tell us some good apartments. ; very hard to find some

Steve. Don't be lazy. Scroll a few pages down and you find some. For example Luck Appartments or Merry Villa. Let us Germans here in the forum not look as stupid people who can't find anything.

I think the Hotel Kahama is very overrated. For the high price I will not stay there again. Before I book a hotel in Mombasa Town, why not in Mtwapa direct? There live there most of the ladys. So you can meet them easy in the daytime on the streets and there are many new affordable Apartments.

What about the option of staying in (Mombasa) town and using Casablanca and Florida as your hunting ground? Assuming of course you're not going there for the beach. I understand it may cost a little more, but what about the selection, and hassle factor?

There are quite a few decent downtown hotels with A / C in the 4-5 k price range, I believe.

Casablanca : believe is quite a dump these days, frequented by low class wg's and whoever is attracted by their kind.

All the upscale girls work Florida (and most of them seem to live in Mtwapa ). There are quite a few stunners among them. BUT they charge an arm and a leg for a quickie if you hire them at their place of work (like 5 to 10 k, depending upon which Navy is in port ). What has worked for me quite often is to get to know them over a drink, leave with their cell # and then meet them next afternoon at regular prices. Warning : some of the stunners look pretty ordinary in day light though!

Kahama raised the rates – effective Oct 01. A Superior King Size Bed Room w / one bed now 4. 950 KES (before 3. 950 KES).

But IMHO it is still the #1 option at the Beach north of Mombasa:

100% GF.

Friendly staff.

Clean and spacious rooms.

AC.

Negative:

WIFI sucks (sometimes it works, but most of the times there was no network available)

TV channel selection very poor. But who comes there for watching TV. LOL.

Cheers.

Thanks a lot for the updating many of us like Kahama

Haven't either, but nothing seems to be too far-fetched for some desperate folks these days.

buy an orange 3g modem from nakumatt. kes 1800 only (500mb free). high speed broadband equivalent speeds if used in kahama (transmission tower right behind the hotel). top up with 1 gb data for another 800. will easily outlast 2 weeks even with heavy usage.

One tip : always ask for their Service I'd and ask them for a piece of paper to write it down (a real policeman is supposed to always have pen and paper handy ). That alone will make them very careful, especially if they really are part of "Bamburi's Finest".

The L. A. Slum Grammar Nazi is at it again!

I used the common abbreviaton for " identification " and it made " I would " out of it!

[LustyHombre]

That sounds terrible, hope this is not going to be habit-forming. Will be in Mtwapa on December. Never heard that storys before.

There is a recent report on TA about new police scams in Bamburi:

"Last week a very lovely elderly man who has visited Kenya for over 22 yrs. Left his wife on the sunlounger and as always took his usual walk along the bamburi Beach. Stopping for a breath (as always) two little children came up and touched his arm and leg. No words were spoken, IMMEDIATELY two policemen appeared and said he had asked the children for se$ and he had to pay 12, 000 swiss franks or taken to the police station, shocked. Upset. He returned to the hotel where the "policemen" met there match when the wife appeared. Many of us were horrified to see this poor man distressed but so happy to hear the tirade from his wife (who could give Peggy Mount a run for her money) and fellow swiss friends.

Another "scam" staring up is a Massage in the back room of the beaches. These used to be very good cheap and NO NONSENCE. Now in the last three weeks. As the men have their proper massage the girl very smartly yanks the pants down and plain clothed "policemen appears saying he demanded se$ and demanding 10, 000- or $50"

I'm planning my first trip there and this is enough to make me reconsider the coast as a mongering destination. I mean, how do you protect yourself from something like this?

Does anyone know if Comfort Inn (near Jevanjee Gardens) or Hotel Kipepeo? Are they Girl Friendly?

Yes! But you have to register the girl at the reception!

Cheers!

Florida seems like the place to be if you are into mixed arab / indian girls. Saw a bunch of them for 2 nights in a row. The DJ plays quite a bit of Indian and Arabic music too. One cute little spinner Aisha was all over me. She was trying to get me away from the hot black chick I was giving a lot of attention to (I'm brown, and this girl keeps teasing "Don't mix with these black girls, you can do better". Later she is on me, hands going everywhere, another girl walks up to me and goes "whatever you do, wherever you take her please take good care of my cousin". I was like WTF! We're not going anywhere.

Hooked up with the very smart (but mercenary) Kamba girl that night. Didn't take her that night because she was drunk and legless. She took my number and called me the next day. Saw her for 2 nights. She loves to go out to some of the better places (Il Covo, Tembo, Florida). Educated, good tastes, but loves to carry and smoke happy plants. Got to be careful about that. We shared some one night though. On call now anytime I want.

The first time I saw her I was with an Afro date who is bi and was extremely turned on by her.

They are all mercenaries, my dear Sir; that's how they manage to put bread on the table, afterall!

However, as soon as they realize you are a local, the smart ones (and there are quite a few of those) drop the tourist act and become the "almost next door regular girl ". I've been thru quite a few, and some very rewarding (not only for her) , relationships this way with some gorgeous women.

Of course, you pay for the priviledge, but that's we are here for, isn't it?

Are they Girl Freindly?
