I take the usual safety precautions when In nairobi. I don't go out at night alone, leave valuables at home, etc. I've been here a couple of months now and only have had enjoyable reactions with locals
Posted: December 25, 2024Nairobi is a safe space to travel however it’s all based on the location, my rating is based on how I think it is and from my experiences in the city but also from what I’ve read online from other women’s experiences. Choosing an expensive location means more safety even walking at night while the cheaper side you may consider your safety more.

Nairobi is a moderately safe place. For women especially, can be alarming. However, if you're sure of your surroundings, you'll be alright. As a girl of my age, I suggest never walk alone in the dark or in an area you're not familiar with.
Posted: December 25, 2024Using uber and cabs are more safe than public for a traveller, most of the places day time is much safer than night time in Nairobi, u recommend one to have at least day activities for safety than night activities
Posted: December 24, 2024It’s fairly safe but don’t walk alone at night in neighborhoods you aren’t familiar with.
Posted: June 12, 2024Here's my reviews about safety in Nairobi: 1. It's safe so long as you also take some cautions 2. Hold your bag right while walking on the streets ( that is if you are an ever walking on streets traveller) 3. Always seek assistance from the hotel you are at for transport services to anywhere you wanna go
