💰 How far does your money go?
A Melange in a Viennese coffee house costs about €5. In Nairobi, that buys a plate of nyama choma (grilled goat) with ugali and kachumbari at a local joint. A cold Tusker in a bar is around €2-3, and a matatu ride across town costs well under €1.
☀️ The Weather
Nairobi sits at 1,795 metres, so it never gets too hot. Late November is the end of the short rains, with highs of 24-25°C, nights around 14°C and afternoon showers. By December the rains ease and the safari parks turn green.
