Outrageous Hotel Prices
Kenya has reasonable hotel prices based upon its country economy. You can take a country like the Dominican Republic (a country I frequent often for business). The hotel rates are ridiculous on top of a 28% tax! There exists a country in the South Pacific I haven't been to in ages called Papua New Guinea the price of lodging is ridiculously crazy! And that country has a serious development issues right along with crime! I think Kenya's hotel rates are reasonable for its prices and far as the guest fees that's associated with them too.

Not be expelled. It required several years of misbehavior to be kicked off of hi5 and half an hoir to be terminated Tinder. Each site has different tolerances.
I am trying to see if anyone here has experience. I am not interested in guesses.
If you strongly feel about arranging girls for pay 4 play, then you may just contact girls on sites like xhamsterlive where you go to the Kenya section and try your luck there on private chats. Many girls are Luo who I'm sure would be happy to accept your plan. Since they are there to sell sex.

This approach has worked very well in Thailand (Thaifriendly), the Phillipines (Pinalove and Dateinasia) and the Dominican Republic (hi5). Although I sometimes don't mention money before the date, I have always felt most comfortable if a deal is made ahead of time. In the past, I have used the dating site to make a cash offer, with considerable success. Alternatively, I take the conversation to WhatsApp before I make an offer.
I have been expelled from Dateinasia several times for offering money for sex. A few years ago, I was kicked off of Tinder for making my offers through the site. I recently was kicked off of hi5 for the same reason. I am curious: does anyone know if Afrointroductions tolerates paid members who offer money for sex through their site, or do I have to do this on WhatsApp? I do not really mind being expelled from dating sites, but this can be somewhat disruptive to my plans.
Thanks. MG.
I guess it is almost 100% certain you will be expelled. It is soliciting.

I went ahead and got the lifeime subscription to Bumble which works great for other countries such as DR and Colombia as well.

To sign up with a passport I had to go to City Mall. After getting the SIM, the same ladies signed me up for MPesa.
My question to you is after how long not adding credit to my account do I lose my safaricom number? If I lose the number, what happens with my mpesa?
Your can check the expiry within the app.
Apart from topping up small amounts from time to time, you can keep your sim alive using their daima service:

If I do carry cash, it's coins for a rare public bathroom or small notes in "the village" but cash is mostly necessary to pay the ever increasing corrupt police their required bribes for the violation of a law they just invented on the spot.

Hit
Sounds like a planned hit. Business can be very unhealthy for you. That guy was not a random tourist. And Pipeline? You don't want to run around as a Muzungu. Not even during the day.

How did they even know to look for the Uber driver or did he randomly go to the police station saying he had info on some foreigner? Garbage reporting.

I have a dual SIM phone and one slot is used for Safaricom. I just hand it to the lady at the Safaricom store right at the airport once I arrive and have her do all the work. I usually have a few hrs till my connecting flight to Mombasa anyway. It's very convenient, and the waiting time is short. You will save on calls and it lets you use Mpesa.

Interesting criteria (bmi, body fat percentage) by which you look for your loved ones. Not sure if you can find such ones in your country easily. Are you planning to go to Kenya? If so, I would ask other questions if I where you.

You know it actually shows you if you do a goggle search and click the images tab.

They run the gamut. You can find big-booty girls in Kenya, if that's your thing, or slim statuesque beauties. I always focus on that later, and have seen no shortage of slim spinners in Kenya.
