Dangers
and annoyances: Do not get paranoid but a little prudence
and caution is required to avoid any unpleasant incidences. Dishonest
persons abound on the city streets ready to make a fast buck from
gullible victims in much the same manner as opportunistic crooks
globally.
Beware of dishonest persons at the airport arrival halls who will
attempt to divert you from your preferred choice of accommodation.
You will encounter people positioned at points of entry who will
tell you that Upperhill Campsite is closed, under renovation or
fully booked and offer you alternative accommodations in the seedier
parts of Nairobi. For your safety and convenience, Email or call
Upperhill Campsite for a flat rate pickup transfer in the guaranteed
convenience and comfort of the campsite van/taxis.
White collar crime is more prevalent on the streets of Nairobi and
its more up-market environs along Hurlingham near embassies and
hostels frequented by foreigners beware of friendly, chatty persons
on the street wanting to engage you in discussions on where you
are staying, or going, soliciting information about your country
of origin, offering money exchange advise on the street or claiming
to be refugees from Somalia, Sudan or any other country may be out
to trick you of your money or belongings. Just simply do not engage
them in conversation. |
