and skyprince you know how much the average public transport cost from one end of the city to the other,or from surburbs to the city is?

am not sure how much this is in dollars

1USD=66kshs
OMG thats really cheap !! 20-30 Schillings that's unimaginable , but how do they cover the cost as petrol is around Sh 60 per litre as you said to me

8 to 10$ a night including breakfast I think that amount is only for breakfast Damn cheap !

Kenguy, thanks for the Giraffe Manor pics. Fantastic !

The Hippo bar at Keekorok-Fantastic for watching hippos in the nearby pool especially at night when they come out to graze.

The Great wilderbeast migration-Maasai mara. Its now considered to be one of the seven wonders of the natural world as thousands of wilderbeast cross from the Serengeti in Tanzania and into the Maasai Mara in Kenya every year.
(Im sure you have seen this on virtually every nature channel on TV.)

I heard that they have a plan to build on the migration path, hopefully that's just a rumour. Strange but few Kenyans get to see some of these great places because advertisers seem to target the foreign tourist and even then, I think they do not do a very effective job. Kenya should be a year round vacation spot and hopefully the tourism board will do a better jod of marketting different parts of the country. I am very excited about the water based tourism that is targeted for Kisumu along with some improvements planned for the Nakuru (rift valley) area. We can be a world class economy in less than 30 yrs if we continue on the same path.

What I can't wait to see are those massive tourism resorts they have planned (vision 2030). I wonder how a resort in Isiolo would look like.

Just discovered that there's another Sopa lodge in the Maasai Mara in addition to the Naivasha one.

Heres the Mara Sopa Lodge.

From above you would think its a traditional village (only that the Maasai don't build their houses like that)

Awesome. Have been to Maasai Mara about 15 years ago and it was an incredible experience. I was just a bit concerned as an elephant walked through the camp and all employees run away. LOL
