Nairobi is a nice place but not as friendly or as appealing as Mombasa or the Malindi areas. I didnt feel like tourism is a big dealfor them and unless you were an Indian there was no love...

The roads are very bad and it’s difficult to get anywhere. The traffic is confused, and it’s lacking a system.

Ubers are readily available, but whenever you're in a car be sure to buckle your seatbelts in both the front and back. Otherwise you're likely to be stopped by a policeman and threatened with arrest. Foreigners should carry their passports with them.
