ok, so I read so much about Kenya's bad economy and poverty then i come to these forums and people are spending like $10,000 USD for a week there. Here's what i'm looking to do, not including flight whats my budget:
*Land in Nairobi, spend the first night in whatever 3 star or less hotel in a room where i wont be abducted.
*go on the safari 3-5 days, camping is fine, i can eat bread and drink water, i don't need nor can i afford these luxurious wine tasting outings that people seem to be promoting.
*hop on the overnight train to Mombasa-by the way i'm reading Mombasa is pro-Osama Bin Laden? I'm an American Firefighter, should i be scratching this off my list... if not, check into an affordable place as close to the beach as possible, willing to go a little upscale here. 1-2 nights then back to Nairobi, fly back to America.
What's my cheapest options? I dont need fancy meals, dont drink much, souvenirs are a minimal need as well.
thanks as always TA! you save me thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours research on all my expeditions.
