Do you tip in Nairobi? Introduction to Nairobi

Nairobi is the capital of Kenya. To visit Kenya, you must go to Nairobi. The environment here is good and the scenic spots are good. Little friends can go to play. The related play strategies about Nairobi are as follows. Let's have a look.

1. The weather is not hot.

You heard me right, it's really not hot at all! On the contrary, the annual maximum temperature will not exceed 30 degrees, and the annual average temperature will be around 22 degrees. There is no obvious division of four seasons, and the climate is simply comfortable.

It should be noted that the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and I have to sleep with a quilt every night, so I rarely see air conditioning in Nairobi because it is not used at all. Therefore, when Nairobi locals heard that the temperature in China was as high as 40 degrees in summer, they all had a black question mark of "excuseme". ...

Tips:

Nairobi is like spring all the year round, with flowers blooming everywhere and dry air.

2. Don't worry about diet

For the majority of foodies, one of the key points of traveling abroad is to eat and eat. Listen up, there are about 100 Chinese restaurants in Nairobi, and there are all kinds of hot pot barbecue pancakes in eight major cuisines. Of course, Korean food, Japanese food, Italian food and Mexican food are also essential. So, don't worry that you can't adapt in Nairobi. The instant noodles in the box can be put back for me.

Tips:

Don't worry about not buying a few domestic products. There are six supermarkets in China. What needs attention is the price. The price of Chinese supermarkets in Nairobi is generally three times that of domestic supermarkets. Please prepare the money in advance.

3. Don't worry about daily necessities

Small shopping malls don't count There are more than a dozen big shopping malls like Carrefour in Nairobi, so don't worry about not buying daily necessities. The shopping center is fully equipped with facilities, such as supermarkets, snacks, shops, cinemas and so on. Oh, by the way, please bring your own cosmetics for ladies. The choices here are really limited.

Please fasten your seat belt when you get on the bus.

If you call Uber (yes, there is Uber here), as a passenger, you must fasten your seat belt. If you are caught by the police, you can't escape the fate of being slaughtered. Don't expect the driver to do anything. At this time, the driver will pretend nothing happened with sunglasses (only passengers will be punished).

Pay attention to sun protection

Although the weather in Nairobi is not hot, it must be emphasized that the ultraviolet rays in Nairobi are much stronger than those in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. If you don't pay attention to sun protection, it's easy to get sunburned inexplicably. It is necessary to wear sunscreen or a thin coat when going out.

Tips:

Nairobi is located in the East African Plateau, near the equator. Poster1700m.

6. Don't panic about malaria.

First of all, understand that malaria is not caused by mosquito bites; Secondly, the probability of being infected with malaria by mosquito bites in Nairobi is very small (equivalent to the probability of being struck by lightning), and there are generally anti-mosquito products at home; Finally, malaria is not incurable. As long as it is treated in time, it will generally recover soon.

7. get a local calling card

It is strongly recommended that you apply for a local calling card when you arrive in Kenya. Compared with purchasing Unicom/Mobile overseas traffic packages in China, local calling cards are much more convenient. The mobile network in Nairobi is very stable (the traffic is about 10 yuan /G) and the network speed is very fast. The urban area is basically covered by 4G, and watching videos online is incredibly smooth.

It is recommended to buy a phone card of this company. The tariff is slightly more expensive and the signal is the best.

8. Apply for electronic entry.

China tourists can apply for a visa after arriving in Kenya with their passports, but we still recommend that you obtain an e-visa in advance. For people with poor English, landing visa forms can be a headache.

Raiders tips:

Without a visa, the domestic customs will not release it. Friends from China, it is best to apply for an e-visa in advance.

9. tipping is unnecessary

When you eat in a local restaurant in Kenya, you generally don't need to tip. If you go to a western restaurant with a good environment, you feel that the service is really good. You can pay a little tip when you check out, usually 1~2 yuan.

10. Don't carry plastic bags.

The reason why this is put at the end is because many tourists simply don't know there is such a thing. Since 20 17, Kenya has completely banned the use of plastic bags. Before coming to Ken, please carefully check whether there are plastic bags in your suitcase (excluding the packaging of the food itself). If Kenyan customs finds that it carries plastic bags, it may face huge fines.
