Inside Nairobi

I went to Safari Walk recently because a friend of mine from the US (noticed how nowadays knowing someone from the US is no longer a reason to boast; oh how we've grown!) was in Nairobi and wanted to see the sights.
Side note; there is absolutely nothing to see in Nairobi. Everything is on one road (Langata Rd) and there is very little variety. Animals, animals, animals. At least in Mombasa there's the beach, there are cultural villages, mad activities…there's something. And to break the monotony in Nairobi, you go to Maasai market to be swindled.
Anyway, since I'm most probably the only person she knew in Nairobi, she called and we went. I must admit, I had been to Safari Walk before with a huge number of people like a year before, but I hadn't noticed that's where the animal orphanage is too. That's the next plot *fingers crossed*.
So we went to the ticket buying area and presented ourselves. So obviously she's a foreigner, so tourist prices apply to her. Thank goodness I had the presence of mind to carry my ID when leaving the house otherwise I too would have been charged ridiculous prices. Let me explain why I dwell on the whole prices thing. For citizens, its 150, for residents its 350 (but considering the trouble that they have to go through to get residency shouldn't we just give them this one? …guess the answer is no) and for foreigners...yes ,you've guessed it $20!! Now convert that into shillings…its ok, I'll give you a moment…if you came to Kshs. 1,600 you are correct (give or take). Oh, and don't presume.... http://musings-cessk.blogspot.com/2011/02/safari-walk.html
