Welcome to Kenya - a locals guide

Everything you need to know before you land in Kenya — written by a local, not a travel agency.

Most Kenya guides are either outdated government brochures or generic AI-written listicles. This one is different: it’s the notes a friend who actually lives here would hand you before your flight.

What’s inside:

• The real airport walkthrough — immigration, SIM card, M-Pesa, getting into town, in order
• An honest safety breakdown: what’s comfortable, what needs caution, what to actually avoid
• Real trip costs — budget, comfortable, and luxury, broken down by 5, 7, and 10-day trips
• Sample itineraries for every length of trip
• A “Which Kenya is right for you” guide — solo, family, luxury, adventure, wildlife, beach
• Safari planning: pricing, what to check before paying an operator, how many days you actually need
• Food, nightlife, culture, and etiquette — what to eat first, tipping, bargaining, matatu culture
• Common tourist traps and how to avoid them
• A full emergency section — numbers, hospitals, what to do if something goes wrong
• Health and vaccine info, cross-checked against CDC/WHO guidance
