Traveling to Kenya soon...? |
Travel Info I am traveling to Kenya soon for just a week , I need to know : - What are the places I must visit/ see - What are the shoots "vaccine" that I have to ensure I take before I go - Average food and accomodation price - is it true Kenya is more expensive than the UK??! - Will there be any problems to me as I am a Muslim who is wearing Hijab "head scarf" THANKS ALL FOR YOUR HELP ... Travel Tips You have to go on a safari, masai mara. Vaccines (im not sure) Kenya is quite expensive, especially when you pay your hotel bill, as well as give tips, which they expect every other step. The accomodation should be from USD150 - USD400 per night There will be no problems for you, just be careful, and watch your back, make sure your money and passport is safe, AND make sure people know where you are. I wish i was you, i would love to go back. Others don't come back with HIV now.... Ensure you visit Maasai Mara and Samburu Game Reserves. -Ensure your health condition is in line with international travellers. 100 USD is enough for a Budget Hotel accomodation,Meals and some fun. Kenya being expensive than UK is a lie. -Kenya has freedom of worship. Head scarf or no head scarf,Muslim or non muslim,you are most welcome to Kenya,a beautiful and peaceful country. Just maintain peace. I live in Kenya You probably require a tourist Visa - make sure. Modern Nairobi is still the safari capital of Africa, but the modern world has quickly caught up with the city. Nairobi has become one of Africa's largest, and most interesting cities. I doubt if Kenya is more expensive than the UK. go2africa.com says: "The exchange rate is in your favor. Generally, you will find that fine cuisine, wine and entertainment cost a fraction of the tariff charged by equivalent establishments elsewhere in the world. The price of a beer starts at KSh35. A traditional meal will cost about KSh150, while you can expect to pay about KSh500-1000 for a more classy meal. Petrol costs about KSh35 per litre. A roll of 36-exposure print film will cost about KSh200." As for the hijab, I doubt if it would be a problem - Kenya has a very diverse society. Religions: Protestant 45%, Roman Catholic 33%, indigenous beliefs 10%, Islam 10%, others 2% (note: estimates vary widely) www.infoplease.com Check with the Kenyan embassy or High Commission in your country if anything is unclear. Hope this helps. Here are some links that could be useful. http://www.kenya.com/useful.html... http://kenya-travel.suite101.com/article... http://kenya-travel.suite101.com/article... I see you have had good advice about places to see etc the vaccines you will need is definately 'yellow fever' it covers you for ten years, you have to pay for this in UK dont know about any where else and you get a certificate that you must take with you and produce when you enter the country. They say it is recommended only but I have known of travellers that were refused entry unless they had it there on the spot, it was a klittle concerning as they could not be sure what they were being injected with. Also need t be up to date with general vaccines, diptheria tetnus, hepatitis etc Also you will need to take malaria tablets before during and after travel. I dont think any more expensive than uk depends what accomodation you are looking for....enjoy and good luck |
