+Reliable Online and traditional cab/taxi operators are available within the city, offering reliable and affordable services. Payment can be made in local currency or using the known global currency. We recommend using online services via [Uber](https://www.uber.com/ke/en/) or the Kenyan service [Little Cab](https://www.little.bz/) while in Nairobi. And if your plane arrives a bit late, or you need to get to the airport at an odd hour, this option also allows for booking taxis: [PTG Travel](https://www.ptgtravels.com/). Lastly, most hotels also offer transit services that can be used for both airport transfers and movement around Nairobi. For security reasons, we advise that you **do not use** Bolt at this time.

-Kenya as a country falls within the tropics therefore experiences comfortable climatic conditions which are favourable for a host of disease causing organisms. One might experience mosquitoes and other microorganisms within the ecosystem but Nairobi is not a malaria prone zone, neither is the city at risk of any organism-caused health risks. It is important to note that any guests or persons should be responsible for their personal hygiene to avoid any unforeseen situations.
+Nairobi is generally considered low-risk for malaria, particularly within the city limits. However, it's always wise to take basic precautions, such as using insect repellent and wearing long-sleeved clothing in the evenings, to minimise any risk of mosquito bites. Other health considerations include ensuring that routine vaccinations are up-to-date and practising good hygiene to prevent common illnesses. Should you experience any health issues or have concerns, the city’s public healthcare facilities are well-equipped to assist you. In case of health emergencies, we recommend visiting private health facilities which also accept comprehensive travel insurance covers.

 LGBTQ community members are allowed to enter Kenya but it is important to mention that the nation is conservative when it comes to traditions and practices and therefore public showcasing of such related acts might expose one to public criticism. Kenyan law criminalizes same-sex sexual activity. Enforcement of the law is rare but restrained behaviour in public is nonetheless advised.
