That is so true!

Actually Uber is offering a 25 % reduction on all normal rates these last weeks.

When I arrived at MSA airport on a Monday morning I was already surprised to get a rate of about 1000 to go to Mtwapa. Even more surprised that it showed a total of 610 ksh upon arrival in Mtwapa. The driver thought it was a mistake and so did I. But it wasn't.

I paid around 650 ks last time from Bamburi to Moi airport.

The big consideration with uber is to avoid airport runs at peak times. 7 am to 9 am or 3 pm 6 pm.

100% Taxify and uber are deffo the way to go in Kenya now, saves a lot of cash not having to barter with idiot taxi drivers.

Hey all,

I'm considering spending Christmas and new year abroad this year. How is Mombasa that time of year? Do all the girls go home to their families on Christmas or are there still plenty of action around? I'm interested in both pros / semi and non-pros.

I'm also considering Ghana, or any other African nation. Is any of them better or worse / lively or dead around Christmas / new year?

I've spent many Christmas and NY in Kenya, mainly Nairobi though as accommodation can be expensive in Mombasa that time of year, Nairobi don't raise their prices. As said previous, plenty of women around.

I just checked on taxify app tuk tuk cost from naivas shopping mall at nyali to casaurina disco at mtwapa is just between 80-110 shillings is so cheap unbeliavable! Last time if I take normal tuk tuk from street for the same journey they will ask you 400-500 shillings but you can bargain them to 250-300 shillings (its the lowest I get few times). Taxify is great before I always use them for book taxis, because they cheaper than uber and have polite drivers with clean cars now they have cars and tuk tuks already at mombasa and cars and boba bodas at nairobi. Its good when not need to deal anymore with shitty taxi and tuk tuk mafia at mombasa anymore!! Will add screenshoot for trip cost from naivas to casaurina (mtwapa).

I was last Christmas and new year at mombasa it was great time!! The weather was perfect not to hot and not to cold. Was plenty of girls around for pick up at night clubs, bars, bamburi beach, badoo, tagged, nyali nakumatt shopping mall. At new years eve some clubs was so busy was not posible to find a seat to sit and need order drinks next to the bar because its was difficult to find waitress in all crowd off people.

This was a non pro you say but that's the exception rather than the rule and remember that these smartphones of today can now be tracked. She could have been trying to invest into you by showing her honesty because you have to somehow repay her by sticking to her.

However lets not turn a blind eye to the good deed done by this girl. You now really have to stick to her.

It was my last night in Bamburi, flying in the afternoon back home trough Nairobi.

So she could disappear with my phones, I had no time to investigate or go to police unless I miss my flights / connections.

I tipped her 100 euros for the 3 days with me, no single comment or word except (thank you).

However, I have always been very careful and cautious with chicas, this was my only exception.

[Terry09]

I met a non pro who stayed with me 3 days at cowrie shell.

My last night, we went to party (sheba, Anuba, casaurina) and I got very drunk.

All I remember was she was looking after me all the night.

In the morning she handed me my 2 phones (Iphone +Samsung) 1500 USD value that I completely forgot where they were.

In fact, she did carry them when she saw me drunk for security.

As a conclusion, yes you have to be always careful but there are some nice and honest ladies.

I am sure my instinct allowed me to get drunk because I felt safe with her.

Good hunting.

You were just lucky. Nothing to do with instinct. And don't go out with expensive smartphones at night if you value your life.

Regarding meeting times.

If you want to meet a lady at 3 pm then tell her 2 pm, then just wait until about 3. 30 pm when she calls and says "I'm here now, I don't see you". You now leave to go and meet her, she will wait for you until you arrive.

In my history. One lady appointment 6 pm. Not in hotel 9 pm. I was going to disco end did pik-up Malaya. 1 am. Arrived in hotel. The lady from 6 pm was waiting in hotel. Super big problem!

Mombie75,

I also would move to Msa if I could, a regular girl, cheap to live, and extras available when your regular is at work or gone to see her family. I have never had anything stolen from any of them, maybe I'm lucky but once again as you said if you're mainly sober and wide awake you'll know the liars easily and there are many. The big attraction for me is the climate, the sea, and we all have an eye for nice pussy. For me Msa is the better choice than Nai which is far too busy but also has nice pussy, I just can't stand looking out at 9 pm at night at traffic nose to tail on their way home from work. Geez that pisses me off. Another annoying thing for I think most of us is the African time scales these women have. When they say I'll be there in an hour, they mean three hours, and if they say they're going to the salon and be back in two hours, you may as well shower, change, go find some other piece of pussy, take her to dinner, fuck her and set her on her way before your regular gets back. Msa for me is a mongers paradise and as you said 90% are definitely available.

All,

Be very careful while in Kenya. http://www.businessinsider.com/r-bri...ahoo&r=UK&IR=T. If your doing this you will be caught eventually.

Most people will thieve from you given a chance in Kenya. It might be the first day, it might be after 6 months but it will likely happen and of varying things and amounts. The girl may have no intention of doing so and maybe quite green but her friends will soon be advising her of the best ways to maximise her earnings if you like.

Mombasa does not have a developed red light district as you put it, it just has a woman force of which 90% is available.

If your savvy and mostly sober you reduce all chances of being scammed and robbed just like most other places outside the west and yes it is all a game. As long as you can put up with the poor standards then it is cheap for food, drink, rent and women. The sun shines, the beach is on hand, what's not to like? I would move back in a flash if I could.
