Hello all,
I'm part of a group of Oklahoma State University students and professors along with a few other people going to Kenya for spring break and the week after - March 15 to March 29.
We're doing some volunteer work in Nanyuki, Thika and a few other places.
Does anyone have any advice?
I've been out of the United States only once, and that was on a cruise in Mexico...so this trip is definitely an exciting first for me.
Thanks :-)

Hi
Kenya is one of the easiest countries to explore in Africa. But still rewarding... The only disadvantage is a crowd of tourists in the popular places. Unfortunately since few years there is increasing street crime in Nairobi and Mombasa, so stay away - if possible - from the big cities...
Happy voyage!

Yes, let us know please. I have been to Kenya once in early Dec 2005 (Nairobi, Meru NP, Nanyuki, Lamu, Mombasa) and I am curious how it is today. I found Kenyans exceptionally friendly, particularly those around Mount Kenya, including Nanyuki, and Lamu island.
But obviously, there is so much more to Africa than Kenya. It is impossible to say how much more there is actually. It is a vast continent and it is so diverse. Many non-travelers believe Africa is the same everywhere!
