The national parks rich with wild animals, (the big five). the vast Savannah grassland, the culture of the pple mostly the Maasai, the migration of the wilderbeast in JULY TO AUGUST......the mountain and the lakes...........all this is awesome and the best way to learn about a place is to visit and explore.....reading or hearing is never enough. love you all [ This Message was edited by: christianj. on 2006-08-20 15:53 ] --- caroline Reply    Reply with quote    Contact carolkags   fishingkenya Joined: Sep 05 Points: 78 Posts: 3 Posted: 2006-08-17 18:12:00    Nairobi is safe. The central business district is safe, patrolled and well lit at night. Just like any other capital city, if you keep to the safe areas, Nairobi is safe. --- Karibu Twende Safari ya Maisha!

Treat it like any other big city and you'll be OK. The most dangerous part of Nairobi are the roads leading in and out of it. Have some potholes!

Every place is safe as long as you're not doing anything that will make it otherwise... I hope we're all enjoying our trips! :) Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rconpascua
