SECURITY
Normal precautions as in any other destination world-wide should be taken. Visitors are advised not to leave cash and valuables in their hotel rooms but to make use of safe deposit boxes and safes. One should never carry large sums in cash and women should keep a tight grip on handbags in crowds or busy streets. Jewellery snatching is quite common in city streets. As in all major cities walking alone or in small groups at night should be considered a hazard and avoided. Reliable taxis are available at all the principal hotels. Taking photographs at airports, near military installations, of policeman, the president, the national flag, the State House, state lodges, soldiers, prisons and prisoners etc., is prohibited. Before photographing local people, permission should be obtained and a fixed price agreed. Seek the assistance of your driver/guide in this matter.
Do not leave cash, travellers cheques or valuables unattended in your hotel rooms but use the hotel’s safety deposit boxes and avoid carrying large sums of money about. As with any large city, Nairobi has its share of conmen and petty thieves; it is unwise to walk the streets after dark. It is advisable to only frequent international bars and night clubs and travel by taxi.
