It’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.
