A tourist trap is a beautiful way of life established by locals for the sole purpose of getting money from tourists visiting their country. There is a wide range of goods and services offered to tourists such as souvenirs, food and refreshments that are cleverly arranged so that tourists part with some of their money. Usually, a tourist does it voluntarily without taking into account the value of the goods and services offered. While some of these services are worthless, others are valuable and have genuine value. Kenya is not immune to this type of business. Each of the counties that you are bound to visit has its fair share of tourist traps that a tourist has to contend with, including;
one). Mombasa – This is the second largest city in Kenya. In these coastal cities of the Indian Ocean, life can be very attractive; There are so many souvenir shops lined up along the beaches where you will find African dresses, artifacts, paintings, and jewelry for sale. If you are white, be careful with the prices they will offer you. These prices could be three times higher than those offered in stores. You will most likely also have to deal with the local beach boys; They also have a variety of items to sell and a range of other services including everything you might need while in Mombasa, but the further away you are from the beach the cheaper the items on offer.
two). Narok – This is a farming town that sits on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, 100 km west of Nairobi. It is mainly inhabited by the Masai community and is famous for the production of large quantities of wheat and corn. The city has very few standard hotels and you will most likely suffer from diarrhea if you indulge. Here you have to be very careful about the supplies you buy, although it is recommended that you fill up your gas tanks on your way to the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Beware of artifacts and souvenirs offered for sale; some are less professionally made, while you can get the good ones ten times cheaper in Nairobi.
3). Nakuru – This is the fourth largest city in Kenya and is located in the agricultural heartland of the Great Rift Valley. It is famous for abundant wildlife, rich farmland, and a large alkaline lake that is home to thousands of pink flamingos. The streets of the city are well designed and the people are sociable and welcoming. In Nakuru, you will find thousands of wild animals scattered around the park just a few kilometers from the city center. Some of the animals you are likely to see here include; the cheetah, the famous pink flamingos, the baboon, the gazelle, the white rhinoceros and the buffalo among others. It is a favorite of tourists who flock here in droves, making artifacts and jewelry out of reach of the normal visitor. Some of the artifacts lined up for sale could cost ten times less on the streets of London.
