Mombasa

The average Kenyan is poor and many are starving.

However a lot of cars worth over 5 million Ksh are on the streets.

[Kaappo22]

Indeed, the salary figure is way off. A basic laborer earns 300-700 KSH a day in Nairobi, less in other cities and much less in rural areas. With 140 k a month you'd be living like a king.

[Mombie75]

Basic jobs like in a bank, reception, office will pay around 15-30 k a month. To earn 147 k a month you will need a very good job in Nairobi, a big law firm or NGO.

[Zimzam]

I don't know who is making these statistics and how they are making them, but this average income of 14.000 ksh per month does really not correspond to the majority of the population. I think you are lucky in Kenya if you earn indeed a fraction of that amount.

If you look for the unemployment rate in Kenya in the official statistics again you will see a rate of around 5 %.

Again this is unbelievable. About 50 % would be more close to reality I would say. , especially concerning the youth.

In Kenya I hardly met someone with a regular income or indeed with a real job.

[Harry2]

I didn't believe the number either. But http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary...=111&loctype=1.

Higher than the Philippines.

Interesting report. Sounds a little tougher to get P4P than I'd expect.

Day 1: Decided to stay at Mtwapa, rented a nice house with a supposedly private pool, but turns out there's a family living on premise so no privacy. And they weren't excited to hear I was going to bring companions. So I decided to move to some airbnb apartment the next day.

Thanks Delongi for your report. Seems you were not that lucky during the first 5 days. Hope you did not leave Mombasa on day 6. Please feel free to continue your story.

[Rwenotmen]

This was an excellent report, thanks for sharing.

We need many more of these, not the joke bsiht fake stories some other members post.

I especially like this advice:

* If you send a girl a link to your airbnb apartment / hotel and they see the price you're paying (50 $+), they're immediately impressed and sometimes offer to come over without the lunch / dinner ceremony.

Spot on, my brother.

The median salary in Kenya is 140 K / month (1400 $)

Ummm, No.

Not poking at you, I mean no offense, but wherever you got that number from is completely wrong. Even the Govt of Kenya own statistics show over 70% of the country's population is rural; all major international development orgs calculate that over 70% live at subsistence, that is Just-barely-above-poverty levels.

Perhaps you meant 14 K KSh / month?

Anyway, bravo for a smashing report.

[DzikaBomba]

Thanks for your Report.

I was in February in Mombasa (Mtwapa). Mtwapa is the best Place IMO, because the girls from Causarina are outside of your Hoteldoor.

I don't care what they are thinking. I'm the one paying. And the ones in Mtwapa don't care either. They where all nice with good Attitude and very happy with 2000 Ksh LT.

I recommend the Hotel Prestige Leisure in Mtwapa. Basic, but Clean and Large Rooms. With 2 Pools. All the Mtwapa Girls liked the Place.

You can get the Big Apartment Room for 2500 Ksh when you Book directly at the Owner through Whatsapp.

When some Senior Members are interested please ask me through PM I can give you his Number for Room Bookings.

And BTW Zodiac is a Karaoke Bar and not really a Place to pick up Girls. For me its only a place to go there already with a Girl. But after Curfew Times they turn off the Music there, so it gets boring then there.

Day 1: Decided to stay at Mtwapa, rented a nice house with a supposedly private pool, but turns out there's a family living on premise so no privacy. And they weren't excited to hear I was going to bring companions. So I decided to move to some airbnb apartment the next day.

Day 2: The new apartment had no aircon even though it was listed. I called some other places that have AC listed and they all had various inaccuracies in the property descriptions. Decided to stay in the apartment anyway and just leave all windows open. Rented a terrain bike. It's fun being able to drive around, or just go in one direction and see what's out there. Make sure your phone has enough juice since you can go in cycles in the dirt roads in the outback without GPS. It's worth riding a bike just to see the bike-taxis standing in junctions going "WTF?! A tourist in a bike?! Who gave him a bike?! Now he doesn't need us! They're taking our jobs! LOL. Went to the beach the evening. It has nice vibes, with tables on the sand and background music. There are some girls passing by, probably looking for tourists, but the restaurant owners seem to chase them away, so no one approached me in the 2-3 times I was there.

Day 3: Planned lunch with an African queen from Afrointroductions (an absolute stunner), offered her lunch and a trip to the marine park. Didn't know where to buy tickets exactly so picked a restaurant next to the marine park's main offices in Shanzu. She decided not to show up. I think it was because Shanzu isn't a glamorous area, and because I told her I stay at Mtwapa. She probably got the idea I'm a cheapskate. Decided to spend the afternoon and evening riding around the slums on the east side of Mtwapa, to see if I can find a poor non-pro that would fuck me on a whim. But young women are rarely alone and I feel uncomfortable talking sex with others around. You probably need a guide to tap into that population, like maybe a taxi-bike guy. Didn't pursue that. Decided to go to Casuarina, but apparently went too late, forgot about the curfew, the place was closed already. Some driver I met a couple of days later assured me it's still open for business. A few nice guys near Casuarina pointed me to the Zodiac club which stays open after the curfew. The coordinate in google maps is -3. 953378,39. 749394. It's in an alley that's guarded by a couple of guys. There's a big iron door, an inner courtyard, and another iron door with a lock for accessing the second floor, all guarded. These guys take security seriously. Inside I saw a few ugly girls and some old white guys that probably haven't heard of the smartphone revolution and were settling for Godzilla's. There were a couple of 7's there but I was busy eating and other guys hooked to them before I could. I didn't see anything interesting there and left. Well at least I managed to get dinner after 20:00.

Day 4: By now I was getting seriously horny so decided to talk to a girl on Tagged whose picture had hooker vibes, said she'll come but kept postponing until noon. I decided to give up on her and call an old contact I made since before Covid (I planned on going to Mombasa a year ago just before Covid started), I gave her a bit of money back at the time when her mother was sick (yeah I know it's a common story but I verified it with pretty horrifying pics she sent from the hospital). Initially I planned on fucking a few easy girls to get the testosterone poison out of my body the first few days and then date nicer girls for the GirlFriend Experience and was saving her for that. But I got too horny and called her and surprisingly the moment she heard from me she dressed and crossed the whole town in an hour to meet me at a restaurant near the apartment. Her face didn't look as pretty as her old pictures, the thing with Kenyan girls is that they have almost no hair and keep putting on wigs or braids and change their style completely every few months. We chatted a bit, ate, and she agreed to come to my apartment (it's a bit awkward telling a girl to come to your place, it's a lot easier if you got some attraction like a private pool, so their acceptance of your offer is "out of curiosity" and not out of "whoring", and they can keep their pride). We went for a shower and when she stripped I had difficulty breathing for a few seconds. She just had the perfect body. Maybe 45 kg, tits proudly up in the air, small solid round butt. 21 years old body with a 30 years old face. To start off the relationship on the right foot, and to show respect (Kenyan girls don't get that enough from their men) I went down on her. Pro tip: when they cum, before they completely finish, pause the licking for a few seconds, let them cool a bit and restart again. It creates a new orgasm for them. They can sustain 4-5 cycles. Every time I do that to a woman she then kisses, hugs, caresses and fucks me like mad. Their love meter for you goes to 10/10 for 20 minutes. Plus, when you fuck them a few minutes later they still have secondary orgasms. After the first round she started making signals of having to leave, she proposed staying another half hour fearing to disappoint me but I let he go, knowing she'll come back later. She didn't ask for money but I politely asked if she needed any. She asked if I had a present for her. In fact I did buy a couple of skin lotions at the duty free on the way at 25 $ apiece, gave her one (Black girls -- and men -- use skin lotions regularly. This gift doesn't fail). I then gave her another 2000 for "uber" but it was pre-paid so when she arrived back home she asked what to do with the money. Told her to use it for the next ride to me. She later said she used it to buy food, her and her mother were missing food. Not sure if it's true, but plausible since the economy is in the shitters and whole sectors (especially restaurants and tourism) are completely out of jobs. We scheduled to meet again the next day at 15:00.

Day 5: I decided to leave Mtwapa in favor of Bamburi, I wanted a better apartment with AC and in a more "respectable" neighborhood. I don't see the point of being in Mtwapa proper, you can always taxi a girl to you (send her an Uber) from any place so might as well stay in a decent place. And it gives you access to girls from the southern regions. The girl from the previous day didn't show up at 15:00, said she had something else till 18:00, then at 18:00 didn't show up either, at that point I told her some other time and started frantically chatting with various girls to try and save the evening. Found some 20 years old student, she came over to a restaurant next to me, I paid the taxi. She wasn't very good looking but not horrible either. Had prominent African features like lush lips. But even though we had a nice meal and good conversation, she didn't seem to want to come over. We went out of the restaurant to the parking lot and I wished her farewell and let her understand I wasn't going to pay for her way back home. She changed her mind and came over. In the living room, she was shy and a bit taken aback by my quick advances. We had chit-chat for a while and she brought up that her "mother needs help" and I said I'll send her 3-4 K. She then agreed to go take a shower. In bed when I started touching her she kept recoiling, like a virgin for the first time. I asked her when was the last time she had sex, she said 3 months. I went down on her and she came HARD. Immediately after that the dynamic changed completely and she was all in, GFE, even suggested anal. We tried but I couldn't get my old dick hard enough to penetrate. Fucked her 4 times without rubber during the night, and went down on her two times total. One thing that disturbed me was her smell. She did shower, it's just that African girls have this odd sweat-like smell. By the morning I was nauseous and was glad to see her gone. While leaving everything became awkward again, she seemed offended by the sum I offered (3-4 K I mentioned the previous evening), plus I didn't even have it on me, told her to come with me to the nearest ATM, but she preferred just leaving without payment. Maybe to pull on my heart strings and get a bigger payout later. She then texted me that she wasn't on pills and needs to get a day-after pill and needs money. I'm sending her money over m-pesa later today.

Lessons learned so far:

* The heat here is insane, if you're overweight you probably can't sleep without AC, and you get very sweaty during sex.

* Check the hotel / airbnb before paying. Or rent for a short period and extend it later (now there's no tourism so it'll stay available).

* Always mark 2 adults so they can't complain (or complain less) when you bring a companion.

* Carry a small bottle of sunscreen on you, and re-apply every few hours while in the sun.

* Girls often don't show up on time, if at all. Try having 3 willing girls for every encounter, 1 will show up and the others not. But once one shows up if you cancel the others they immediately assume you're with another girl, they don't fall for bullshit excuses.

* They're all after money, even if they don't admit it.

* If you say you're staying at Mtwapa, it will lower girls' esteem for you.

* If you send a girl a link to your airbnb apartment / hotel and they see the price you're paying (50 $+), they're immediately impressed and sometimes offer to come over without the lunch / dinner ceremony.

* Girls from Mtwapa are cheap since their cost of living is low and they often live in slums. But in more upscale regions (Bamburi, Nyali) 3 K is a joke for them. The median salary in Kenya is 140 K / month (1400 $) and apartment rental for 1 bedroom start at 20 K (200 $) so do the math. Find out where they live to estimate how much you'll have to pay them to keep them happy.

How long does it take to get the results?

Do you get the results in both printed form and digital. ?

Better go there and take the test result. MBA Hospital sent me an code via email but it could not be opened. The sheet is ready next day at 10 am.

By the way no one checked my test on Kenyan airports. I flew MBA-NAI and NAI- home.

Falsely collected? How can that be.
.

As I stated before I suspect the local agents in that country.

The person I did send the transaction number to had not even opened the message with the number when the money was collected.

I am just very disappointed in the way WorldRemit is dealing with my case.

I have done several transactions with WorldRemit that went well and I do prefer the mobile money way, but that was not possible this time.

[Neddy69]

I recently sent an money transfer to an African country (not Kenya) and it turned out the money was falsely collected by another than the designated receiver.

It was even cashed before the rightful receiver opened the mail with the transaction number etc.

Of course I immediately contacted the Worldremit helpdesk via chat, which is 2 weeks ago now. And they just keep on answering with meaningless and repetitive statements, such as "we have contacted our agent" etc.

So a solution is not in sight.

Unfortunately the receiver did not have a mobile phone bank-account, which I believe is a much safer way to transfer the money.

I suspect one or more local agents to have stolen the money, as there are many and they are all having the data one needs to collect the cash.

So from now on I will prefer to pay maybe a bit more (not even in all cases) and use Western Union in future.

Falsely collected? How can that be. I always sent money ONLY on mobile money accounts. Never had a problem. Did you send it to a bank? I don't think World remit is less safe than WU. The prime reason I used world remit to transfer money straight in the mobile money account of the recipient. I used it for years to pay my rent in Kenya.

Hi,

It seems this map is not anymore online? Any other place top pick it up?

I'll be in Mombasa in early April and would be curious to see what the map has to offer.

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

The correct link for the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0n1oedyzkl...imers.pdf?dl=0.

Unfortunately every time I do an update to the file a new link is generated by dropbox.

It would be nice if you could correct or add information to the file after your trip.

Have a nice time down there.

[PeterStran2019]

Did another update to the "Kenya for first timers" file.

Thanks to all who contributed info so far. Will do further updates if more info comes in.
