Been there and it's an eye opener. Amazing holiday best service I've ever had on any holiday around the world.

I went during the political elections and couldn't believe how cheap the holiday was.

Turn a blind eye to the bodyguard with the rifle walking behind you on the beach and you'll thoroughly enjoy yourself.

Yeah we had the body guard on the beach when I was in Gambia a few years ago

My father in law goes twice a year and has done for years. He likes the local ladies!

He loves it - good value, great beaches and lots of east african curries!

Sounds nice: http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-...-africa/kenya1

Does sound like you're okay though if you stay within the touristy type areas.

Went to Nairobi on duty a few times. Lovely soft climate and an interesting place, but blokes who were found dead on the street being wrapped in cellophane bags awaiting pickup was a bit of a put off!

there is an amazing restaurant called the tamarind, overlooks the bay and is so romantic, mind you it's about 20 years since I went there, but it was so beautiful and if the website is to be believed it still looks fab it's in mombassa, by the way

Seeing the reviews I think I'd rather spend a little more and go somewhere else.
