Regarding your motorcycle plans, it's awesome that you've got solid experience from SEA and Aus! Nairobi traffic can be, well, a bit of an adventure in itself, but with your background, you’re likely well-equipped to navigate it. The key will be to stay alert, anticipate the flow, and always prioritize safety. Stick to main roads where visibility is better, and perhaps consider planning your routes during daylight hours to maximize your comfort and enjoyment. Embrace the freedom of the open road (or the busy city streets!), and let that 250cc be your trusty steed as you chase down those incredible Nairobi experiences. This is your chance to be the main character of your own incredible travel story!
