Mombasa

[Neddy69]

Hello guys

I would like to book room in this hotel but I don't known is it girlfriend? Can I take with me girl to hotels pool etc. Maybe I should prepare to pay staff? How much? I'm sorry but it is my first trip to Mombasa and I'm beginner. Thanks and best.

First rule in Africa. NEVER prebook. Maybe one or two nights. There is no need. Accommodation is in abundance. That saves you a lot of surprises. RTFF. There is loads of GF accommodation mentioned.

Neddy.
I never take package holidays. Flight only. Than I shortlist a few places and RTFF. That's it.

Bamburi beach hotel girlfriendly?

Hello guys,

Its my first time trip to Mombasa and I would like to book this hotel. Please help because I'm beginner, are the hotels usually girl friendly? Or should I pay staff some extra if I will bring girl overnight and want to spent with she time in hotel pool etc?

You can still fly from Brussels to Mombasa for 150 euro (and back for the a bit more, or a lot more, depending on the date of return) with Tuifly be.

The good thing also is that you don't have to change planes, only a stop-over in Zanzibar on the way up.

The actual holdup was at Sundowner on the way to Galu beach, but according to locals and police happens also at other places. Hardly any restaurant has armed guards. Many areas in Diani are dark at night.

Nakumatt City Mall taken over by a ZA supermarkt chain.

It is not common. An expat friend of mine has been robbed twice by motorcycle gangs in Bamburi and Shanzu. But over a course of 10 years. Don't resist you'll be fine. Diana also a regular feature. Couple of years ago a swiss national got himself killed by resisting. Its not very frequently but does happen.

This holdup happened in the Diani in these last few weeks? Do you know in which restaurant?

By the way, that Nakumat, it was big chain in whole Kenya, and also neighboring countries like Tanzania and Uganda. I am not sure what went wrong, some internal disputes with owners. So it was not only Diani Nakumat, all of them are closed now.

Just spent a few weeks at Diani. Yes, the beaches are nice / better than at north coast / Bamburi area. BUT there are safety concerns! Friends got victims of a holdup at night at a restaurant. Several guys with machetes, knives and wooden sticks took all the money and phones and even clothes. According to police and locals rather common. Diani is quiet at night. Perfect conditions for those guys. Others got money stolen at hotels (not only at Diani, but also at north coast. Or got drugged and robbed. No wonder that there are not many tourists. Walk at the beach and you will be almost alone (beside the vendors).

And watch out, if the "3 months" are clearly written at your visa. Another guy got victim of a new (scam when he left Kenya.

The female officer said, that the very unclear written number was a "1". She threatened him with jail or alternatively 300 USD.

He got away with "only" 150 USD.

Nightlife rather boring, especially during the week. Another nightclub. Fullmoon - just reopened on Thursday. Not far from former Nakumatt (now Ocean supermarket). Will see, if that place can survive this time.

What you describe is really nothing new to me. Hehehe. Been only robbed twice by chicas. At that time I was a Newbie. Been there done that. I call it entrance fee to paradise. Well with small defects. There is gangs on motobikes armed even with AKs which are rented out by enterprising cops. They occasionally prey on restaurants to make a quick buck. Stay quiet. Put all your valuables on the Table. Or you ll be pumped full of lead.

Jambo Kenya.

Who is bit homesick.

When you enter as a tourist your visa is for 90 days, they can't amend it no matter what is written.

A scam of course. Monthly salary of the Immigration lady.
