Keniya Afrikaning sayyohlar eng ko'p tashrif buyuradigan mamlakatlaridan biridir va bu haqli ravishda - aksariyat diqqatga sazovor joylar va ko'plab qo'shnilar havas qiladigan yaxshi rivojlangan mehmondo'stlik va turizm sohasi bilan maqtanadi. Sayohatlarning nisbatan qulayligi, turoperatorlarning ko'pligi, yil davomida yoqimli iqlim, tabiatning diqqatga sazovor joylari va do'stona odamlarning barchasi Afrika me'yorlari bo'yicha nisbatan mashhur bo'lishiga yordam beradi.
Ko'p turli xil etnik guruhlar va qabilalardan tashkil topgan bo'lsa-da, keniyaliklar milliy g'urur tuyg'usiga ega. Bu qisman ularning kurashdagi birligi bilan bog'liq bo'lishi mumkin Uhuru (Kisvaxili: "erkinlik") - 1963 yilda erishilgan Buyuk Britaniyaning mustamlakachilik hukmronligidan mustaqillik. Keniyaliklar o'zaro etnik tafovutlarni osongina aniqlashlari mumkin, aksariyat chet elliklar uchun esa ularni ajratib bo'lmaydi. Chet elliklar umuman keniyaliklarni qulay, mehmondo'st va quvnoq bo'lishga moyil. Chet elliklarga nisbatan dushmanlik odatiy hol emas; agar biron bir narsa bo'lsa, ba'zi tashrif buyuruvchilar sayyohlik dollarlariga bog'liqligi sezilib turadigan uyatchanlikdan bezovtalanishi mumkin.
Tarixgacha bo'lgan ko'plab tosh qoldiqlari topilganligi sababli Turkana ko'li va uning atrofi insoniyatning beshigi deb ham ataladi. Olorgesail kabi Rift vodiysida muhim ilmiy qiziqishlarga ega bo'lgan gominid qoldiqlari topilgan va ko'pincha Afrikaning ushbu hududi odam turlari paydo bo'lgan deb o'ylashadi (garchi Efiopiyadagi so'nggi kashfiyotlar ushbu nazariyani inkor etsa ham).
Iqtisodiy nuqtai nazardan, Keniya hikoyasi oldinga siljish, bir qadam orqaga qaytish va hk. Mamlakat Sharqiy Afrikada rivojlangan mamlakatlar qatoriga kiradi va sayyohlik sektori tashrif buyuruvchilarga qashshoqlikning keng tarqalishini barcha hashamatli safari paketlari bilan e'tiborsiz qoldirishni osonlashtirdi - yoki uni tez va shubhali qarama-qarshi turga aylantirdi. Mahalliy startap sahnasining muvaffaqiyat tarixi, sinf osti sinfining doimiy kurashlari va keng tarqalgan korrupsiyaga zid keladi. Shahar Nayrobi va Mombasada zamonaviy mehmonxonalar, golf maydonchalari va xarid qilish markazlari anarxiya shaharlari bilan bir qatorda mavjud. Keniyadagi qishloq iqtisodiyoti hali ham asosan qishloq xo'jaligida, ammo 21-asrda haqiqiy taraqqiyot bilan. Bularning barchasi sayohatchilarga barcha byudjetli sayohatchilarga tajribalarni aralashtirish va moslashtirish imkoniyatini beradi. Umumiy ma'lumot uchun Vikivoyaj maqolasini o'qing rivojlanayotgan mamlakatlarda sayohat qilish.
Iqlim
Keniya tropik iqlimning keng doirasini boshdan kechirmoqda. U qirg'oqda issiq va nam, mo''tadil quruqlikda, shimol va shimoli-sharqda juda quruq. U butun yil davomida juda ko'p quyosh nurlarini oladi va yil davomida yozgi kiyimlar kiyiladi. Biroq, odatda kechasi va erta tongda salqin bo'ladi. Nayrobi balandlikda va hatto kunduzi ham, iyun va avgust oylari orasida juda sovuq bo'lishi mumkin.
Yomg'irning uzoq davom etadigan davri apreldan iyungacha, qisqa muddatli yomg'irlar oktyabrdan dekabrgacha. Yomg'ir ba'zan kuchli bo'lib, tushdan keyin va kechqurun ko'pincha yog'adi. Eng issiq davr fevraldan martgacha, eng sovuq iyuldan avgustgacha.
O'yinlarni ko'rish iyun oyining o'rtalaridan oktyabrgacha va dekabr oyining oxiridan mart oyining o'rtalariga qadar bo'lgan quruq mavsumlarda yaxshi bo'ladi. Hayvonlarning yillik migratsiyasi, ayniqsa yovvoyi hayvonlarning migratsiyasi - iyun va sentyabr oylari orasida bo'lib, millionlab hayvonlar ishtirok etadi. Bu filmni suratga olish uchun mashhur bo'lgan voqea bo'ldi.
Tarix
Keniyada insoniyat tur sifatida mavjud bo'lgan davrdan beri odamlar yashaydi.
Arab savdogarlari 1-asr atrofida Keniya qirg'oqlarida tez-tez yurishni boshladilar. Keniyaning Arabiston yarim oroliga yaqinligi mustamlaka qilishni taklif qildi va VIII asrda arab va fors aholi punktlari qirg'oq bo'ylab tarqaldi. Asrlar davomida Keniya turli xil savdogarlar va sayohatchilarga (arablar, xitoylar, portugallar va boshqalar) mezbonlik qilgan. Keniya qirg'oqlari Suahili qirg'og'iHindiston okeani va Saxara cho'llari bo'ylab savdo-sotiq bilan shug'ullanadigan ko'plab boy shaharlarni o'z ichiga olgan, bu eng taniqli shaharlardan biri Mombasa.
Keniya uning tarkibiga kirdi Britaniya imperiyasi 19-asrning oxirida. 50-yillarda Mau Mau va inglizlar nomli mustaqillik uchun kurashchilar o'rtasida shafqatsiz urush bo'lib o'tdi va har ikki tomon ham inson huquqlarini dahshatli ravishda buzdi. Keniyalik millatchi Jomo Kenyatta 1952 yilda hibsga olingan va ozgina dalillarga ega emas, Mau Mau Jamiyatini taxminiy boshqargani uchun sud qilingan va qamoqqa olingan va oxir-oqibat deyarli 9 yil davomida hibsda bo'lgan. U milliy qahramon deb hisoblangan, 1963 yil 12 dekabrda mustaqilligini e'lon qilganidan keyin u mamlakatni boshqargan. Ommaboplik, mo''tadillik va aqlli hokimiyat siyosati orqali Asoschi Ota mamlakatni amalda diktaturaga aylantirdi (xayrixoh yoki xayrixoh bo'lish siz kim bilan suhbatlashishingizga bog'liq) .
1978 yilda Prezident Kenyatta vafot etganida, Daniel arap Moi Prezident bo'ldi va yaxshi yoki yomon, yigirma yildan ko'proq vaqt davomida diktator sifatida hukmronlik qildi. Moi siyosiy raqiblarini qo'pol qilishdan tortinmadi va Nayrobidagi asosiy ma'muriy bino bo'lgan Nyayo uyi, uning yerto'lasida sodir bo'lgan mish-mishlar bo'yicha qiynoqlar uchun sharmandali bo'lib qoldi. Biroq, ba'zi keniyaliklar bu davrga barqarorlik davri sifatida yanada yoqimli qarashadi. Xalq noroziligining to'lqinidan so'ng, 2002 yilda erkin raqobatlashadigan saylovlarga yo'l ochish uchun ozmi-ko'pmi ixtiyoriy ravishda ishdan ketdi.
Ushbu saylovlarda Mvay Kibaki g'alaba qozondi, u 2013 yilgacha o'z lavozimida qoldi. Haqiqiy iqtisodiy taraqqiyotga qaramay, Kibakining hokimiyatdagi eng yirik Gikuyu etnik guruhi hokimiyatni mustahkamlayotgani sababli uning lavozimidagi burilishlari o'zgargan. Natijada, 2007 yilda uning raqibi Raila Odinga Kibaki saylovda g'alaba qozonish uchun saylov qutilarini to'ldirgan deb da'vo qilganda, keng tarqalgan zo'ravonlik avjiga chiqdi. Keyingi to'qnashuvlarda 1000 dan ortiq kishi halok bo'ldi. Kibaki ikkala tomonni ham buzib tashlaganlik dalillari orasida hokimiyatni saqlab qoldi va saylovoldi saylovlari shprits bilan o'tkazilgan saylovni ko'rsatib turib, haqiqiy g'olib kim bo'lishi kerakligini bilishning iloji yo'q.
Amaldagi prezident Uxuru Kenyatta, Jomo Kenyattaning o'g'li. 2017 yilda Keniataning qayta saylanishi, Raila Odingaga qarshi yana bir bor tan olinishi, haqiqiy natijalar bo'yicha ba'zi tortishuvlarni keltirib chiqardi, chunki Odinga Keniatni qonunbuzarliklarda ayblaganidan so'ng, Oliy sud tomonidan dastlabki saylovlar keskin rad etilganidan keyin saylovlar qayta o'tkazildi. Ekspertlar odatda uchta asosiy lagerga tushib qolishdi: saylovni adolatli deb hisoblaganlar, saylovlarni umuman soxtalashtirilgan deb hisoblashganlar va qonunbuzarliklarning dalillari bilan rozi bo'lganlar, ammo adolatli saylovlarda Kenyatta g'alaba qozongan bo'lar edi. Odinga uyni boykot qildi va Kenyatta inauguratsiya qilindi. Chet elliklar uchun qiziq tuyulishi mumkin bo'lgan voqealar navbatida, Kenyatta va Odinga keyinchalik "Handshake" nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan kelishuvdan keyin ittifoqchilarga aylanishdi. Ba'zi keniyaliklar ushbu kelishuvni mamlakatda hukmronlik qilish uchun fitna shaytonining savdosi deb bilsalar, boshqalari barqaror siyosiy dushmanlar o'rtasida yarashuv va tinchlik uchun haqiqiy istiqbollarga umidvor.
Keniyaning qo'shnilari bilan munosabatlar umuman barqaror va do'stona - bundan mustasno Somali, uning parchalanishi Keniyada xavfsizlikni tashvishga solmoqda. Keniya "Ash-Shabab" fundamentalist guruhini mag'lub etishga urinishda xalqaro harbiy missiyalarda qatnashadi; Natijada, ash-Shabab mamlakatning turli joylarida bir nechta mashhur terroristik hujumlarni uyushtirdi. Shuning uchun keniyaliklar ba'zan Somalilarga nisbatan ishonchsiz yoki dushmanlik bilan qarashadi, garchi butun mamlakat bo'ylab Somali merosiga oid keniyaliklar ko'p bo'lsa-da, boshqalari mamlakatdagi fuqarolik urushidan qochgan qochqinlardir. Keniyaning boshqa qo'shnilar bilan munosabatlari odatda ancha yumshoq va Keniya Sharqiy Afrika hamjamiyatining a'zosi (shu bilan birga) Burundi, Ruanda, Janubiy Sudan, Tanzaniyava Uganda) mintaqadagi hamkorlikni rivojlantirishga qaratilgan.
Madaniyat
Taniqli odamlar orasida qirg'oqdagi suaxili, shimolda pastoral jamoalar, markaziy va g'arbiy dehqonlar va Viktoriya ko'li havzasi atrofidagi baliqchilar bor. Maasay madaniyati sayyohlar, ular Keniya aholisining ozgina foiziga ega bo'lishiga qaramay yaxshi ma'lum. Ular tanasining yuqori qismidagi bezaklari va zargarlik buyumlari bilan mashhur.
Odamlar
Keniyada 47 ta etnik jamoadan tashkil topgan turli xil aholi soni 67% ni tashkil qiladi. Bantus (Kikuyu, suaxili, Kamba, Luxya, Meru, Abagusii) va 30% Nilotlar (Maasai, Luo, Samburu, Turkana va Kalenjin). Yana bir muhim etnik guruh Hindularmustamlakachilik davrida asosan inglizlar tomonidan muomalaga chiqarilgan xizmatchilar sifatida olib kelingan va yirik shaharlar atrofida joylashib olgan va asosan ishbilarmon odamlardir. Bundan tashqari, mustamlakachilik davridan boshlangan kichik, ammo taniqli oq tanli jamoat ham bor, asosan ingliz kelib chiqishi.

Uchib ketishdan oldin 15 daqiqagacha ro'yxatdan o'tish mumkin. Uilson aeroporti bir vaqtlar Afrikaning Janubiy Afrikadan tashqarida eng gavjum aeroporti bo'lgan va hanuzgacha Keniyadagi qo'riqxonalar va qo'shni mamlakatlarning shaharlariga mahalliy parvozlar uchun asosiy markaz bo'lib qolmoqda. Airkenya-dan foydalanadigan har kimga ro'yxatdan o'tgan sumkalarini qulflash tavsiya etiladi. Airkenya qaramog'ida bo'lganida narsalar chamadondan yo'qolgani ma'lum bo'lgan.
Charter sayyohlarning aksariyati to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Mombasa yoki Malindi qirg'oq aeroportlaridan biriga uchishadi.
Avtobusda
Keniyada shaharlararo avtobus yo'nalishlari tarmog'i mavjud. Tezlik 80 km / soat bilan cheklangan va magistral yo'llar juda notekis va changli bo'lishi mumkin, shuning uchun uzoq safarlar uchun Modern Coast kabi qulay va obro'li murabbiy kompaniyasini tanlashingizga ishonch hosil qiling.
Shaharda mahalliy avtobuslarni Ksh 50-100 gacha turli yo'nalishlarda transport bilan ta'minlaydigan yashil va sariq Citi Hoppa kabi xususiy kompaniyalar boshqaradi. Ular Nayrobi shahar atrofi va tashqarisida doimiy xizmatlarga ega. Ular odatda 20-35 yo'lovchini joylashtiradilar (qonun bo'yicha hech qanday turuvchi yo'lovchiga ruxsat berilmaydi) va matatusga qaraganda toza va unchalik og'ir bo'lmagan transport turi, shu bilan birga ko'plab marshrutlar bo'ylab harakatlanadi.
Matatu tomonidan
Matatus xususiy ravishda boshqariladigan mikroavtobuslar bo'lib, odatda 14 yoki 25 yo'lovchiga mo'ljallangan bo'lib, qisqa va o'rta masofalarda ishlaydi. Ular barcha yirik shaharlarda va ko'plab qishloq joylarda juda arzon va tezkor transport usulini ta'minlaydi. Matatu nomi Kisvaxili so'zining uch raqami uchun kelgan - tatu - chunki bir muncha vaqt oldin standart tarif uchta o'n sentlik tanga edi. Matatus belgilangan marshrutlar bo'yicha ishlaydi, yo'lovchilarni yo'lning istalgan nuqtasida olib ketadi va tushiradi. Shahar ichidagi eng ko'p sayohat 20 dan 40 Kshgacha turadi.
Ko'pgina matatuslar yaxshi saqlanmaydi va ularning ko'plarini jozibali va rang-barang bezak bilan topish mumkin - odatda sport va musiqadagi global belgilar, dizaynerlar brendlari va boshqalar. - bu Keniya shahar madaniyatining asosiy xususiyati. Matatu bilan sayohat qilish xavfli bo'lishi mumkin, chunki transport vositalari tez-tez o'ta yomon haydaladi, matatu haydovchilari tirbandlikda va tashqarida harakatlanib, yo'lovchilar uchun yo'l chetida bir lahzada to'xtab qolishadi. Ilgari Matatus odatda sig'inmaydigan darajada o'ralgan edi - 14 kishilik transport vositasida 25 kishiga qadar. Kechasi matatusni qabul qilmaslik tavsiya etiladi, chunki ular tungi vaqtda avtoulovni haydash xavfining ortishi bilan bir qatorda talonchilik uchun ma'lum nishonlardir.
Poyezdda
Yo'lovchi poezdlari Keniyada tez-tez tilga olinadigan yangi temir yo'l liniyasi bilan qaytishni amalga oshirmoqda SGR (standart temir yo'l uchun qisqa), poytaxtni bog'laydi Nayrobi port shahri bilan Mombasa. Ushbu yo'nalish har kuni har bir yo'nalishda uchta poyezd bilan to'liq ishlayapti, sayohat vaqti taxminan besh soatni tashkil etadi. Shuningdek, Nayrobidan SGR liniyasi mavjud Naivasha 2019 yil oxirida ochilgan.
Poezdlar markasi qo'yilgan Madaraka Express va tomonidan boshqariladi Keniya temir yo'llari. Bittasi bor Ekspres poezd va bitta Mamlakatlararo, ikkinchisi marshrut bo'ylab ko'proq to'xtash joylari bilan. 2020 yildan boshlab to'liq sayohat uchun chiptalar birinchi sinf uchun 3000 Ksh, ikkinchisiga 1000 ksh. Chiptalarni o'zlarining maxsus do'konlarida sotib olish mumkin veb-sayt. Poyezdlar yarim yuqori tezlikda harakatlanayotganda, stantsiyalar ko'pincha shahar markazidan uzoqda.

Shuningdek, ular Nayrobidagi aeroportda yangi temir yo'l liniyasini qurishmoqda.
Taksida
Keniyada minadigan do'llar mavjud va quyidagilar eng kutilgan provayderlardir:
Ijaraga olingan mashina bilan
Dunyo bo'ylab aksariyat ijara agentliklari Nayrobi, Mombasa va Kisumuda o'z ofislariga ega va ular to'liq zaxira tarmog'iga ega ishonchli avtomobillarni taklif qilishadi. Bundan tashqari, asosan ishonchli bo'lgan mahalliy distribyutorlardan arzonroq mashinalarni ijaraga olish mumkin. Ammo depozitni jo'natishdan oldin fon tekshiruvini o'tkazish har doim yaxshi. Avtomobilni ijaraga olayotganda, tovar nomidan qat'i nazar, har doim turli xil chuqurliklarni yoki holatlarini e'tiborga oling, chunki bu "qaytarib beriladigan" depozit bilan bog'liq bo'lganida munozarali bo'lishi mumkin.
Safari uchun mashinani ijaraga olish to'g'risida gap ketganda, Keniyada joylashgan turoperator tomonidan taqdim etilgan mahalliy sayyohlik haydovchisi tomonidan boshqariladigan moslashtirilgan transport vositasini bron qilishni o'ylab ko'ring. Sababi, Keniyadagi yo'l sharoitlari G'arbda yoki Osiyoning ayrim qismlarida ham yuqori sifatli yo'llar va haydash standartlariga o'rgangan har bir kishiga katta qiyinchilik tug'diradi. Yo'llar, hattoki milliy avtomagistrallar ham ayrim holatlarda yaroqsiz holatga kelib qolgan, yo'llarning chuqurliklari, tezlikni belgilovchi belgilanmagan (ayniqsa xavfli) va yo'l belgilari yoki yo'nalishlarning etishmasligi bo'lishi mumkin. Keniyada haydash va yo'l harakati xavfsizligi standartlari kamligi va mamlakatda jiddiy baxtsiz hodisalar darajasi yuqori bo'lganligi haqida ham keniyaliklar o'rtasida umumiy kelishuv mavjud. Safari transport vositasini o'qitilgan haydovchi bilan yo'llash ~ yo'riqnoma ko'pincha unchalik qimmatga tushmaydi va bu xizmatni Keniyadagi kompaniyalar taklif qiladi. Shoor avtoulov ijarasi va Bozorni ijaraga olish. Safari transport vositalarining ikki turi mavjud: arzonroq mikroavtobuslar (ekskursiya avtoulovlari) va narxi 4x4 bo'lgan Toyota Land Cruiser modellari, ular qimmatroq, ammo kattaroq va to'rtta g'ildirakka ega. Ikkala transport vositasida ham o'yin tomosha qiladigan tomlar mavjud va mikroavtobus ko'pgina yo'nalishlarga sayohat qilish uchun javob beradi, bundan tashqari qo'pol yoki loyli yo'llarda sayohat qilish mumkin.
Internetga mashina yollash va uni etib kelganingizdan keyin aeroportda olib ketish juda qulay. Keniyada eng kam haydash yoshi 18 yoshni tashkil etadi va sizdan transport vositasini ijaraga olish uchun siz kamida 23 yosh va kamida 2 yillik haydash tajribasiga ega bo'lishingiz talab qilinishi mumkin. Boshqa qoidalarga rioya qilish kerak: yo'lning chap tomonida haydash, qo'l telefonida gaplashish taqiqlanadi, xavfsizlik kamarlari majburiydir va haydovchilar har doim amaldagi haydovchilik guvohnomasiga ega bo'lishlari kerak. Siz yollayotgan mashinada, odatda, oldingi oynaning yuqori chap qismida ko'rsatiladigan zamonaviy va PSV sug'urtasi mavjudligiga ishonch hosil qiling. Chet elga sayohat qilish uchun avtoulovni yollashda siz qo'shimcha sug'urta sotib olishingiz va transport vositasining asl jurnalini olib qo'yishingiz kerak bo'lishi mumkin.
Nayrobidagi CBD avtoulovlar harakati tez-tez uchraydi va ish vaqtida to'xtash joyini topish qiyin. Agar iloji bo'lsa, ish kunlarida CBDga borishdan saqlaning. Biroq, shahar tashqarisidagi yo'llarda harakatlanish nisbatan oson va yoqimli. Keniya yoqimli qishloq joyiga ega va yirik shaharlarni bog'laydigan yo'llarning aksariyati yaxshi holatda. Ammo kichikroq yo'llar buzilib ketishi mumkin va u erga borish uchun 4X4 ijaraga olishingiz kerak bo'lishi mumkin. Yaxshi xarita juda muhimdir va agar siz o'zingiz o'yin parklariga va shunga o'xshash narsalarga haydasangiz, GPS juda foydali bo'ladi - imo-ishoralar juda kam uchraydi va siz to'g'ri yo'lda ekanligingizga ishonchingiz komil emas, bu ko'plab noto'g'ri burilishlarga olib keladi va orqaga qaytish.
Ba'zi avtoulovlarni ijaraga beruvchi kompaniyalar mahalliy raqamga ega mobil telefon kabi bepul qo'shimchalarni taqdim etadilar. Qo'shimcha GPS-lar, bolalar uchun o'rindiqlar, lager uskunalari, uyingizda chodiri va haydovchi qo'shimcha narxlarda mavjud.
Ko'pgina avtoulovlarni ijaraga beruvchi kompaniyalar Yaponiyaning modellari ustun bo'lgan har qanday o'lchamdagi avtomobillarni taklif qilishadi. Barcha rezervasyonlarni ingliz tilida frantsuz, nemis, xitoy va ispan tillarida bron qilishni ta'minlaydigan ba'zi ijara kompaniyalari bilan amalga oshirish mumkin. Kabi xalqaro avtomobillarni ijaraga beruvchi kompaniyalar Evropkar, Oltita, Byudjet, Avis va Hertz Keniyada avtoulovlarni ijaraga berishni taklif qiladi.

Ingliz tili va Swahili are the two official languages. As a diverse country with over 40 ethnic groups and 60 languages between them, most Kenyans are multilingual, speaking their native ethnic language along with Swahili, which is the preferred language for interethnic communication. Most people, particularly in urban areas, also have a working knowledge of English, though this will vary depending on their level of education. Efforts to communicate in Swahili are generally greatly appreciated by Kenyans and can become increasingly useful in more rural areas where English speakers are less prevalent.

Xarid qilish
Kenya is famous for many handicrafts, which are often the signature of a particular tribe or region. Look for Kisii stone (soap stone) carvings, Maasai jewellery, Mkonde wood carvings, Lamu chairs and batiks. The largest selection of handicrafts can probably be found at the Maasai Market which rotates and can be found at different locations within Nairobi. For example, on Sundays, they are located at Yaya Centre near Hurlingham, and on Saturdays, they can be found at the central business district near the law courts parking space.
On Fridays, they are at the Village Market in Gigiri, near the UN headquarters. Gigiri, like Yaya Centre, is a plush suburb, so vendors price their goods accordingly. There is also a fine selection of stores selling craft goods in Mombasa, where the atmosphere is somewhat more relaxed. However, the best prices can be found by buying directly from the artisans in their villages in the countryside.
Apart from the typical souvenirs such as wood carvings, it may be a good idea to buy one of the large books with photos of wildlife, nature, or culture. Do listen to and buy some local Kenyan music. Reggae is a very popular genre of music here.
Do note that merchants are open to bargaining. They will most often raise the price significantly for foreigners, so do not be afraid to haggle.

Many different cuisines and types of restaurants are typically available in Kenyan cities, ranging from fast food to upscale western cuisine. Kenyan cuisine is varied among its numerous ethnic groups, though staples include ugali (maize dough), pilau rice, collard greens, chapati (indian flatbread), and grilled meats (typically chicken, beef, or goat). Fresh produce is also readily available in roadside stalls with a diversity of fruits and vegetables depending on the season. Street food is also definitely worth a try and is usually safe to eat. Typical foods include mandazi (sweet bread-like doughnut), grilled maize with a side of chilli, and samosas.
Many restaurants catering to foreigners can be found in downtown Nairobi and in the areas of Westlands, Hurlingham, Kilimiani, and Lavington. Among the many cuisines available are Italian, Brazilian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, German and French restaurants. Westlands also has a large concentration of Indian cuisine owing to the large Kenyan Indian community in the neighborhood.

Kenya has several local beer brands, the most popular being Tusker. Imported beers are generally available in higher-end establishments.
Imported and local wines and spirits are widely available, though it is advisable to avoid local brews such as "changaa" and "busaa," which are illegal, unhygienically brewed, and whose consumption has led to deaths on many occasions.
Soft drinks, especially from Coca Cola, are widely available, and the strong, locally-produced Stoney "Tangawizi" ginger ale is fantastic.
Most bars and small shops will expect you to leave behind your glass bottles so they can return them to their distributors.

Nairobi has a wide variety of tourist hotels, from backpackers hostels to five-star establishments such as the Norfolk Hotel. There are a number of other guesthouses that offer private rooms both with shared bathrooms and self-contained rooms for Ksh 1,000-4,000 per night. As long as you don't mind basic accommodations, there is no need to spend more than US$100 per night on a hotel or hostel. In less touristy areas, lodging can be found for as cheap as Ksh 1,000. US$10 per night.In addition, the international Intercontinental and Hilton chains are also represented as well as a number of very highly regarded local chains (Serena and Sarova Hotels). Small boarding and lodging establishments are ubiquitous in central urban areas for low cost, although these are rarely safe as they are located in high crime areas.
Homestays are increasingly gaining popularity. Part of the reason is that one can experience Kenyan culture in a deeper and more meaningful way. Most homes charge about US$20 per night inclusive of meals. Some may include laundry on that price.
People staying longer-term may rent accommodation; prices range from estate-agent 'international style' rentals US$150 per week, to privately arranged furnished apartments, US$50–100 pw, to 'local' style accommodation, usually unfurnished, in a price range from Ksh 5,000-7,000 per month with windows, water, electricity, down to Ksh 500 per month with no windows, no electricity, loud neighbours, mosquitoes, and shared access to a tap. To arrange privately rented accommodation, you'll need to ask around - cab drivers, shopkeepers, market traders, could all save you the estate agents' fees.

There are many colleges offering secretarial and computer courses in the CBDs of Nairobi and Mombasa.There are also many universities, both public and private, and some participate in student exchange programs with international universities.

A high unemployment rate means work permits are required. These can be difficult to obtain unless you have specialized skills that are lacking in the workforce. You are best off being appointed abroad, as local employment opportunities are low-paying and few.
There are many international expatriates who work for non-profit agencies such as the UN and other affiliated agencies. Their pay is very high in relation to local living standards, and as a result their employees can afford to live in luxury.
There are numerous opportunities for volunteering in Kenya, whatever skills you have. Websites such as Idealist carry details of many of these placements, which could be centred on education, conservation, community development, or a number of similar areas. Kenya's English-speaking history and relative stability make it extremely well suited for this kind of work. In most cases, volunteering can be undertaken with a standard tourist visa, although it is worth checking with your host organization before travelling as the authorities may not always take this view.
If you have specialised skills, there are a number of more focused volunteering programs available. These range from opportunities for medical and engineering placements (for example, with MSF or VSO), to short sabbaticals for people with generic business experience, spent mentoring local businesses, with Skills Venture.
Xavfsiz bo'ling
 | OGOHLANTIRISH: Due to risks of kidnapping, cross-border violence, and banditry, travelling near the borders between Kenya and Ethiopia, Somali, yoki Janubiy Sudan xavfsiz emas. |
Hukumatning sayohat bo'yicha maslahatlari | |
| (Axborot oxirgi marta 2020 yil avgustda yangilangan) |
Although Kenya is generally safe, it has had bouts of jihadist activities and occasional post-election violence.
Stay alert when walking or driving through Nayrobi. You should always be careful to be aware of your surroundings and, if possible, ensure that you have a guide with you. Even daylight muggings on crowded streets are not uncommon. Infrequently, violent and sometimes fatal criminal attacks, including armed carjackings and home invasions/burglaries can occur at any time and in any location, particularly in Nairobi. Particularly avoid walking after dark. Take a taxi if you can afford it, or a bus if you cannot, but care should be taken as most buses, even modern ones, tend to be overcrowded and can pose dangers from pickpocketing.
Avoid ostentatious displays of wealth and property, particularly tempting objects such as cameras, mobile phones, laptops, and MP3 players. The bus from the airport to downtown Nairobi is a notorious target for pickpockets.
Do not ask for prices in English when buying anything ,especially from hawkers and bodabodas..Chances are you will pay atleast twice normal prices,no matter how good you are at haggling.Use the little Swahili you know so as not to overpay.
If you are unlucky and get mugged, a good tactic is to wave your arms and start screaming at the would-be mugger. Confrontations with armed robbers, however, should be avoided – in this instance, remember that your possessions are far less important than your life. Most criminals in Nairobi are more interested in a quick grab and dash than they are in a prolonged encounter. Since robbery is frequently punished by lengthy prison terms or even death, most muggers can be dissuaded by a good show of force. Like in any other city, it is perfectly possible to see, and enjoy, much of Nairobi without incident if you take sensible precautions.
The north of the country has a reputation for lawlessness, becoming more dangerous the closer you get to the South Sudanese, Ethiopian and Somali borders. Armed robberies and abductions by shiftas (bandits) on the roads in these areas are frequent. Avoid travelling to this part of the country if possible, and take special precautions if travelling by road. Armed convoys are normal for this part of the country. Visitors to Lake Turkana (indicated on the map as Lake Rudolf) in the northwest and Lamu in the northern end of the coast should travel there by air. Lodwar, Lokichokio ('Loki') and Moyale are towns best avoided by the casual traveller, unless you have business with the humanitarian organizations based there.
Sog'lom bo'ling
Protect yourself from mosquitoes, as they carry numerous diseases such as dengue fever, bezgak va sariq isitma. Get expert advice on malaria preventatives. Guard against mosquito bites. Wear long sleeves and long trousers and apply an effective insect repellent. If arriving from or travelling to other African countries, having a sariq isitma vaccination certificate is typically mandatory. The vaccine can be administered at an affordable price at most reliable Nairobi clinics and hospitals.
Bezgak medications are recommended if you are travelling to rural areas (Nairobi is not within the malaria zone). The prophylactics most commonly used in this region are doxycycline (an antibiotic) and malarone (a combination of atovaquone and proguanil, also sold locally as malanil). Chloroquine is not as useful because of the high incidence of resistance and Mefloquine, also known as lariam, mefliam, and mephaquin, is associated with various side effects, including a high incidence of mood disturbances and a lower risk of severe neurological disturbance. Consult your physician and government health advisories for current advice.
If you get flu-like symptoms, including fever, joint aches and vomiting, consult a doctor immediately. If no doctor is available, take a treatment dose of an appropriate anti-malarial and go immediately to a hospital. While the public hospitals are slightly cheaper, long waits and poor conditions and care at these facilities may make it worthwhile to go to a private clinic. Costs will vary, but a typical trip to the hospital for malaria testing, doctor's consultation, and medication will cost US$12-30 depending on the clinic. As malaria can become serious, a trip to the hospital is recommended at the first symptoms of malaria.
If you get such symptoms within twelve months of returning home, seek a doctor's advice very quickly and immediately tell him where you have been in the last year. Delayed treatment, even by just a few hours, can lead to permanent brain and liver damage or death.
Do not have unprotected sex as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases are a risk. The country's Adult HIV Prevalence rate (15th in the world) is over 6.1% yoki 1 in 16 adults. Voluntary Testing and Counselling (VCT) clinics offer free testing and counselling for HIV/AIDS.
Cholera is another danger. When in affected areas, see a doctor immediately and drink plenty of water.
Hammasi water should be treated, either by boiling or through purifying tablets or filters. This includes Nairobi as well as rural areas. Typhoid fever is a risk and, like malaria prophylactics, the vaccination is not 100% effective. It is advisable to buy bottled water for drinking. It is available countrywide. All fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed. While eating from the roadside kiosks is part of the cultural experience that one should not miss, such places do not always have the highest sanitary conditions and stomach illnesses can result.

Ramadan Ramazon Islom taqvimidagi 9-va eng muqaddas oy bo'lib, 29-30 kun davom etadi. Musulmonlar har kuni uning davomiyligi uchun ro'za tutadilar va aksariyat restoranlar, shom tushguniga qadar ro'za tutishmaydi. Ertalabdan quyosh botguncha lablar orqali hech narsa (shu jumladan suv va sigaretalar) o'tmasligi kerak. Musulmon bo'lmaganlar bundan ozod qilinadi, ammo baribir jamoat joylarida ovqatlanish yoki ichishdan saqlanishlari kerak, chunki bu juda odobsiz hisoblanadi. Korxona dunyosida ham ish vaqti qisqartirildi. Ramazonning aniq sanalari mahalliy astronomik kuzatuvlarga bog'liq va har bir mamlakatda bir-biridan farq qilishi mumkin. Ramazon bayrami bilan yakunlanadi Ramazon hayiti, bir necha kun davom etishi mumkin, aksariyat mamlakatlarda odatda uchta.

Although Kenya is predominantly Christian and somewhat liberal, there are areas with major Muslim influence, such at the Coastal regions, where it is considered indecent to wear short dresses. This is true in rural Christian areas as well. The locals, however, are extremely friendly.
Beachwear is acceptable on the beach but not while strolling around town. Nudism and topless bathing are prohibited in Kenya. Even though some hotels allow topless or nude sunbathing, these are in restricted areas and not in public.
Kissing or heavy petting is frowned upon in public, even though Kenyan youth engage in both liberally in night clubs.
Homosexuality is against the law but is practised secretly. Overt displays of homosexuality (especially male to male relationships) may, at times, result in open hostility. Although violent reactions are quite uncommon, it is best to be discreet if engaging in any such activities with travel mates or locals. However, it is common to see people of the same gender hold hands while engaged in conversation.
Permission is required in order to take pictures of people, as a matter of etiquette. Photos of military and public facilities such as police stations, banks, ferries, etc. are typically prohibited.
If you are invited to a Kenyan home, it is proper to bring a small gift according to the occasion. If you are a white man and go out with Kenyans, you are expected to pay the bills. If you invite a Kenyan out to a pub or restaurant, you are also expected to pay their transport costs, especially if you are a man inviting a woman.
It is disrespectful to reject food offered to you. Always accept tea and chapati, or mandazi, which is very commonly offered to visitors.
Connect
Internet
Internet cafés are common throughout Kenya and usually offer decent link quality. Expect prices of Ksh 0.50-1.00 per minute. Most cyber cafes now charge Ksh 1 per minute (2020).
Mobile providers
Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom, Faiba mobile: After purchasing a starter SIM card you may access the net instantly, if you have an Internet-capable handset or a modem. However, when using your account balance to pay for access, the prices are steep. It is much cheaper to purchase a data bundle, and the more expensive ones offer much better price/limit ratio. For example in 2018, a 10GB data bundle good for one month costs Ksh 1,000 from Airtel or Telkom while a 5GB from Safaricom costs Ksh 1,000. A SIM card costs between Ksh 50-100.
You will be required to provide valid identification as it is required by law that all SIM cards be registered.
You may purchase the bundles by charging your account with scratch top-up cards and then dialling *100# or *544# (Safaricom and Airtel), *124# (Telkom). Once the data bundle is finished, the Internet access will be done by a fallback method using your current account balance, which is much more expensive.
WiFi hotspots
As of 2020, there's been a emergence in WiFi hostspots in Kenya. These include Surf WiFi by Facebook and Moja WiFi that offer cheap internet connection in public places.
Moja WiFi uses points that could be redeemed to access internet. A new user is awarded 50 points on registering on the network. A user gains points by watching video ads, one ad is equivalent to one point. For 5 points a user gets 24 hours of internet access.
Surf WiFi offers cheap internet access. A new user is awarded free 1GB of internet bundle on registration. After that the user receives free 100MB daily by watching a video ad. When a person invites a new user using a referral link both receive 1GB of internet bundle upon registration of the new user. It also offers an app that has an inbuilt map that shows surf WiFi hostspots in the country and recharge shops to buy new bundles.
