Looking at possibly going to Accra and Nairobi for a month each just to see what it’s like. Anyone been? Any thoughts?

    Nightlife is great in Nairobi, and the weather is a little chillier in the winter (good for someone not used to living all year round in 29 degrees Celsius).

    Uber gets you anywhere for $2-4 and in all of Africa, the drivers were less likely in Nairobi to ask to cancel and get cash for the ride.

    If you like animals, I highly suggest a safari in Nairobi National Park. You can hire a driver for about $100 for 4 hours, and this is suuuper affordable compared to other safaris.

    The SGR railway gets you to Mombasa in about 6-7 hours for around $25 in first class if you need some beach time.

      I’ve been Ubering in South Africa for 9 years (wtf) and that’s never once happened to me. I’d probably go for it just to get more hard cash to the driver.
