Nairobi

[QUOTE=Jhack111;1161124]I usually travel without any cash. The days when ATMs were down frequently are long gone. At least in Mombasa and Nairobi, but even in remote locations in Nyanza or anywhere along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway I've not had any problems with ATMs for a while.[/QUOTE]Try to withdraw now. For the next three months Nakumatt ATMs are closed. Mtwapa is out of cash and electricity was off for 36 hours. Mtwapa is packed with tourists despite low season. Good advise, keep it up.

[QUOTE=Willyboy;1161041]I was 4 days with the same lady. Started all a little less careful with money. In the fifth night she stole 26000ksh. And my kriditcards. God was with me and the way-out protection, I would have her gestopt. Waar necessary funds have taken me to the airport to travel? It was my last night in Kenya. It happens more in last night. A personal advice for all hunters. SLEEP LAST NIGHT ONLY. Start your journey to well-equipped body. I thought it not happening to me![/QUOTE]How did the girl know it was your last night? Don't tell your real name, country, city, what you plan and where to go. Malayas don't, so why would you?

[QUOTE=Willyboy;1161149]...To thake money from ATM. With my master card 300 ksh (3 euro) extra for 30. 000ksh. No extra things No commision...[/QUOTE]Your 3 euro is still more than the 1. 50 GBP common in UK and the fact that your master card statement doesn't show a commission doesn't mean there is one. It is factored into the exchange rate! Compare the rate I was giving you and see if you had a better one around that time. What you get charged is pretty much the same across competitive markets.

[QUOTE=Willyboy;1161151]If you coming to border control end you need visa. Plaese have with you 25 dollar or 20 euro. If not. You will not look lions or girls. Where persons look ATM machines bifor pasport / visa control. Only god now this![/QUOTE]It is located at the lower departure gates (1-8) , if I remember correctly not far from the diplomatic duty free. You just need to wander around a bit and get to know JKIA a little bit better. No need to ask for god either. The Kenyan immigration officers are lovely people and if you speak a little bit Swahili with them you will never have a problem. Even if you just have local currency. Just leave the European arrogance at home. That will go a long way.

Attention willyboy, I know you have alot of exp in Kenya, and ofcourse other senior members.

I am not interested in GFE at all, in fact I prefer to pick a girl up, have a BBBJ in my car or hotel, then drop her off and keep moving. Thats what I'm used to and thats how I like it, I don't like the girls hanging around all day or all night.

Do you know of any places like that in Nairobi or Mombasa where there are street walkers who you can pick up for a short date either in the car or nearby hotel? Is it easy to rent a car in kenya?

Thanks in advance

[QUOTE]...Is it easy to rent a car in kenya?...[/QUOTE]It is very easy. You have many choices. You can pay stupid money and rent from the usual suspects at airports or downtown locations (avis, carhire 3000, etc) or you can rent from local companies. There are plenty of them and the going rate is about 2, 500 Ksh per day for a small saloon (corolla etc) , which is about the equivalent of the price of a taxi ride from Moi Airport to Mtwapa. If you intend to go out and about a lot, renting will work out cheaper than taxis, but if you like drinking it might not be the best option.

Mtwapa is packed with tourists despite low season. Good advise, keep it up.[/QUOTE]Electricity was actually off for less than 24 hours (at least where I live in Mtwapa) and over the last 12 months that was rather the exception than the rule. If you leave yourself in a position where you don't have enough cash to survive the next 2-3 days is just being silly.

You will always almost find a working ATM. Mtwapa being out of electricity doesn't mean that Bamburi is. Barclays in Bamburi has 2 ATMs and I have lately very rarely seen them down or out of cash. Even if it is there are plenty of ATMs in downtown Mombasa. I really don't see the problem.

I have local accounts in Kenya in parallel to my foreign accounts and it is quick, easy and cheap to wire money into these accounts and if all goes wrong it is just as easy to transfer money from outside Kenya into MPESA. There are plenty of options and yes, I will keep this advice up: There is absolutely no need to carry foreign currency cash around.

[QUOTE=Willyboy;1161164]...It is not posibel to pay visa in this local amount. This local amount is not possibel for inport or export (kenya rouls) Ofcours.....[/QUOTE]Oh Williboy. You never fail to amuse me. Non-residents are free to import / export local and foreign currency without restrictions. And yes, it is possible. You just haven't tried it. But I have, so I am right and you are wrong.

[QUOTE]...If this writer look duty free shop bifore pasport control. Maby Hi was not wek-up after his fly...[/QUOTE]Maybe you should widen your horizon a little bit. Not all airports are like Mombasa. Nairobi is a different construction (circular) which allows you to pass the same duty free shops no matter whether you arrive or depart. There is an ATM at Gate 10 and that is the one I used to withdraw from as I had no other cent of cash in my pocket.

If way out for you end you pass duty free. Not possibel to buy. End shop are CHOSED. Duty free is only for passagiers. Thaking flys.

It cost my one h thime to find it

Currency.

The currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KSh) , divided into 100 cents. Imports of foreign currency is unlimited, but on arrival in Kenya indicate money you entered. The import and export of Kenyan shillings is prohibited under any circumstances. Traveler's checks (in USA dollars or pounds) can be exchanged at the bank. Often credit cards only accepted in major hotels.

Some contributions in the discussion do not have much to do with reality.

Meanwhile, there are of course many ways to pay without cash, or receive money at ATM's all over the world. But it's natural, that I will not leave the house without any cash in my pocket. I would at least not go without a small amount of cash for emergencies on holiday. That's common sense.

It is also known that the fee for the Visa in Kenya is Euro or dollars is in cash.

If there is now an opportunity to get cash from an ATM before you pay the Visa in Mombasa or Nairobi.

What is the discussion.

If I know that I need the cash money for the Visa I bring it along with me. I would not ruin even the beginning of my vacation because I have to go looking around for an ATM. I too would not be at the mercy of the visa officer, if I can pay the visa in ksh or not.

Once again. I don't know anybody who leaves home without any cash the pocket.

For me personally. Since I had some time ago, massive problems with my credit cards, I've been bringing always a lot of cash with me. This is obviously a risk. Everyone has to decide this for themselves.

So, have the visa fee in cash. And at least a little cash for emergencies. How much. This must everybody know byself.
