Thanks for the info. Is there a forex bureau or other money changer at the airport when I arrive? Read More

What is the best cell carrier for me? by jmagill

taxi from Nairobi airport to downtown Nairobi by jmagill
I will be taking a taxi from NBO to downtown, near the Globe Cinema roundabout, at around 9pm at night. I know I need to negotiate the price. What would be an okay price for that time of night? Thanks, Jerry
