Posts: 550What I do is bring cash an change it with Mike at his Bora Bora exchange shop, I then go and put all that money into my mpesa, no need to have any cash then apart from the odd few thousand shillings in the pocket. Much easier.

Posts: 550I have been in Mombasa the last month. Mask wearing on the beach is nil, I still carry one and if I see Police I will pop it on and have at times been spotted and they say nothing. In Mtwapa / Nyali etc it is not worth the risk so I just wear it there.
Casarina still gets busy at midnight as well as Big tree during the day, but Cheers has been pretty quiet lately. I have never been but Volume was busy over Christmas / NY but with the Nairobi crowd gone now I am not sure if it still attracts.
DTB and NTSB bank charges me no withdrawal fee with my UK credit card.

If you refer Covid situation in Kenya, I have not followed so I don't know.
There was Nigeria mentioned as place to visit. Getting visa there may be easy if there is Nigerian embassy in your home country, or in a country where you are resident. But if there is not, then it get's very difficult. I spend lot of time and money to try to get visa there in 2018, and did not succeed. I hope better luck to people in this forum who try it.

Equity did not have the 5 Dollar fee for international cards till March 2021.
In the meantime I tried out DTB. They still have no additional fee but they calculate a lower exchange rate.
So the best for me in 2022 is withdrawing the maximum amount of 40.000 from Equity and pay the 5 USD.
Another way would be opening an Kenyan account. They have 8% p. A. interest rates for deposits.

Of course, Tanzania in East Africa is the most open. In Southern Africa, I think South Africa is most open if you have your visa.

West Africa currently possible is Senegal and The Gambia where you get also 3 months Visa or like Senegal Visa free access for many countries. Most other West African countries either crappy COVID restrictions or Visa expensive hard to obtain etc.
But I have also short listed Angola, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and DRC. Let's see.

Posts: 92Mombasa of West Africa?
For anyone who's spent time on the West Africa, I'm curious if that coast has any cities similar to Mombasa:
- Bored, beautiful girls
- Nice beaches
- Affordable
- Monger friendly
- (Language doesn't matter)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Monday I will see on my account if it was a good idea to use DTB. At least on the receipt no additional fees are mentioned.
