Posts: 822Shanzu water
Shanzu and mtwapa get the watter from underground by electrical pumping.
There is no watter pipe from mombasa for most parts.
Now. Shanzu is sitting on the sea so salt watter penetrate to sweet watter and get mixed.
Mtwapa is more far from the sea so sweet underground watter is isolated and kept sweet.
Appartments with cold watter can be eqipped with electrical hitter for 3 to 4 k bob. Easy instalation.
boda boda to mtwapa beach is 50bob not 100.
from bamburi main rd junction deep into bamburi town is also 50bob. and i am talking about 6km ride.

Posts: 132To much work
Dear board members,
Thank you for all your tips about Mombassa.
Unfortunately I didn't have the spare time to travel to Mombassa, I had to stay in Nairobi all the time. Even there I didn't have the time to Monger because of my work situation.
Anyway, thank you and if I get to Mombassa, I will add here a report.
Regards,
Easyease

Posts: 542Mtwapa is quite safe as a lot of ex pats from Europe and UK live there or stay on long term hols. Obviously being safe is using common sense too, do not show off any riches or valuables etc.
There are plenty of apartments to rent longer term, best bet is to take one where ex pats live as they usually are a bit safer. Askaris (securty guards) are a waste of time, they are usually asleep or when robberies happen they are usually involved. As said below get a place with grills / bars on the windows. A months rent for a standard apartment used by long term stayers is usually around 20 k ks a month ($200) but you can pay more or less if you look around. There are plenty of nightly rental places too from 1000 ks-4000 ks ($10-$40) in Mtwapa too.
Best place to stay is usually around the Kendas arcade which is located on the crossroads behind Casaurinhas and near the police station and posta.
Apartments are advertised all over or get a local to take you around a few for a few dollars.

Safty.
The drug delars has been clearded from the main Road as mtwapa is much safer now. The govoroment is well aware of safty impact on tourisem.
Appartment has a grill from iron which I used to buy my own new lock. Some appartments does not have a grill. Thats the local term for iron gate. Askari is keeping thongs more secure.
I saw only two appartment but the on that I stay the water is witout salt.
Cold water does not mean it cold as the water pipe is warmed by the local temp.
Location location location that's the big name for any real estate. Take a few days and look for yourself the location you like.
I have bought from europe some monsters bulbs so I have daytime ligthing at night.
Boda boda is 50 bobs whithin mtwapa.
5 litter of mombasa brand mineral water from nakumat is 170 bob but you can get purify 10 litter water tank for 110 bob from any store in mtwapa.
Now. Do I feel safe? Yes but feel safe does not mean that I am safe. You need to make sure you are safer by taking the correct security action.

Posts: 505Great report on rent
I like this mini report cause that's what I look for when mongering in a new area: apartments!
I rented previously in Shanzu (report around July / Aug 2013) for 1000 daily without commitment, but it was FULLY furnished wih A / see but the water was salty!! Do you know if these apartments have fresh non salty water supplies?! Any long term commitment expected for the price you quoted?
Mtwapa for me seemed like he wild wild west. Do you feel safe living there?
BTW, how long you staying for? Pm me if you wish cause I have a grat lady I met back then who can help you get things done if you get me. I wish I can help her but I'm in Medellíand actually living renting long term. And my next mongering destinations are ukraine and Madagascar.

new matress with a good quality is 10000 and lower quality is 5000
For the housing. 13000 does not includes electricity.

Maybe you should check out Bigtree for accommodation or Hibiskus Lodge in Mtwapa. Hibiskus is cheap but a bit off the beaten track for a first time visitor. How long are you planning to stay? If you stay for let's say 3 weeks you might should rent a place for a month and get the best rate like this.
So why is it still worth to go to Kenya even though it's more expensive and maybe also not as safe as Gambia? Well. It has many advantages! A night out at Sheba or Casaurina beats a night in Britannia Pub or Wow Disco at any time in my book. The beaches and countryside in Kenya are among the best in the world and in Gambia pretty basic. You have a bigger variety of girls in Kenya IMO and also the service is even better in Kenya. Some of the girls in Kenya fuck like pornstars. Lolz.

Posts: 542With the mass decline in tourism to Kenya there are not half as many girls around these days and the bars are pretty quiet unless it is a Friday or Saturday now.

Last but not least you are right that many reports are a bit older, but this is IMO mainly because the scene doesn't change very much. If you read a report from 2010 then probably 80% of the information of this report is still valid. One big spot for partying closed (Tembo) and an other spot opened (Sheba). All the other given information about girls, service levels, prices, etc. Are more or less still the same. However, of course we all will highly appreciate to hear about your impressions and experiences. Enjoy yourself to the fullest!

Posts: 542You will struggle to get a place with a private pool in Mombasa, and even if you did it would be a rental house and a place that would come with risks in terms of security. Sai Rock apartments are 100% girl friendly if they have an ID which they will have. You take the girl to reception, they take a copy of the ID and that is that, been this way for over 10 years.
If your budget is 200 US a night you will be in the range of all the north coast hotels even paying for a guest over night on top.

Posts: 132Mombasa has a North and south coast, you probably best off on North. Mtwapa is on North coast. What is your budget? I say stay at Sai rock apartments, make sure you stay in apartments and not hotel rooms. It is on Bamburi beach, approx $50 a night, barter the price they may start off $70-80. It is centrally located, Mombasa only has 1 real road and runs parallel to the beach. Getting women in is no probs as long as they have ID. Mtwapa is 5-10 minutes up the road by car. Mtwapa is bustling through the day and has a lot of bars at night but only place worth going is Casarinhas. 5-10 minutes the other direction from Sai roack apartments in the Nakumatt supermarket, 2 good bars here worth a visit too. Cheers bar is right outside Sai rock apartments and you get women here too and at big tree on the beach 100 yards away.
I checked the Sai Rock on Tripadvisor and it said, the guy had problems when checking out with the extras he had to pay for the WG's (mainly breakfast and pool use). So as I'm planning to get 2 or more WG's a night this might be a problem.
My budget is about US200 per night for a decent place with a private pool. With a private pool, I mean only me using it with the WG's and fucking in the pool etc.
I live a normal life, but I like to kick it when I monger.
