[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^oh and yiu will only fly into Nairobi.  Not woth staying. The pollution will cause yiir lungs to burn. Nairobi is just for flying in.  It is not a notable city. I love Kenya and Kenyans,  but Nairobi is not a place worth spending much time in. Ans for the record, its a pretty safe city. Just dont be stupid. Much safer than Chicago.[/quote]

Even at the elephant orphanage? That's sad if the baby elephants are breathing in air that bad. That's the only reason I want to go there.[/quote]

What is also sad is the baby humans breathing that air. Respiratory problems are awful there. Thanks to no trash pickup a city of millions burns much of the trash and the rest is left to clog the streets. The elephant orphanage is a bit on the outskirts. Its an OK thing to do if you have a day to kill, you can bang out the giraffe sanctuary same day.  Both are extremely crowded and touristy.  What I would highly reccomend is taking a tour of Kibera. It is the largest urban slum in Africa. Not Nairobi, Africa. Might seem exploitative,  but these people appreciate the money coming in (buy stuff, i even ate street food there), especially US dollars. You might also be moved to help out or sponsor a child to go to school. At the very least, it will humble you and put your woes in perspective. The people of this slum rely heavily on NGOs and faith based organization to help bring education,  sanitation,  clean water, and medical care because the government is so corrupt, nothing gets done elsewise.

Oh and the Italian food is on the coast, not Nairobi. Nairobi has some decent restaurants, but in general, the food in Kenya is not the best. The better places are international. I tried very hard to like Kenyan cuisine, but it is not even remotely sophisticated. Meats are tough as leather and much of what you eat is unseasoned. The traditional food is simply meant to full hungry bellies, nothing more. Carbs, goat, and stuff like collards.
