How does Kenya compare with other holiday destinations? I am going to Kenya in November on a safari to the Masai Mara, then after that going to Mombasa for a few days by the beach to relax. Just wondering, as it's an expensive holiday, how it would compare to going to countries such as Bahama's, Jamacia, Mexico, Maldives, Seychells etc? Or are those countries a higher class of a holiday destination? Should Kenya as a holiday destination be compared with the likes of Italy, Egypt? I hope I enjoy myself as I love nature and wildlife itself.

How can I involve people from around the world to bring the dream of Kenya Coast University to reality? The Coast of Kenya has a rich history, It has wonderful beaches for tourists. However it is a community that is without higher education opportunities. For many generations the young people have had to give up their dreams of higher education because there are no colleges or universities. The dream of Kenya Coast University can sooth the pain of the past and blossom hope for the future. The university has been conceived. Now it is time to prepare for the birth. This means completing many plans, gathering resources, and building the campus for a 21st century university. See http://www.kenyacoastuniversity.org/ for more information on the conception of Kenya Coast University. How can I involve people from around the world to bring the dream of Kenya Coast University to reality? I believe that if many people work together the impossible can become possible!

How safe is Kenya for foreign residents? One of my friends recently moved there with her husband- she tells me that she just has to stay in a compound all day, and can't go out for fear of being mugged. Compound has an electric fence and armed guards, about 48 foreign families live there. Does this reflect the real dangers of living in Kenya, or is it overkill?

How should my family prepare for a trip to Kenya? My parents and I will most likely be visiting Kenya in December for about two weeks--it will be the first time for each of us. We will be going on a safari through the savanna, encountering wild animals and such. I don't know any more details other than those, though. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so we want to make it mostly positive! We'd like to know if we need to receive any vaccinations and shots, and if so, when to get them. Also, if there's anything we need to know about Customs, climate, the political situation, etc., that would be wonderful.

How about an offshore IT center in Kenya? The model has worked well in India because Indians are well-educated and their cost of living is considerably lower than that of Americans.

What are the major obstacles in setting up an IT center offshore in Kenya? Is it infrastructural concerns? Please share your thoughts.
What is Obama doing to help his family members in Kenya? I heard that his brother is making a dollar a day. His family in Kenya longs to come to America and they still stuck in horrible conditions. I also heard that his children are attending an elite private school. Something tells me they won't be enrolling in DC's notoriously ugly public schools when they move to Washington. Obama talks about changing the world, he could start with taking care of his own family and leading by example and enrolling his children in public schools so that he experiences our problems first hand.

What do you of the aid Obama wants to give to Kenya? Yes, the liberal Congress wants to give Kenya over $30 billion after a proposal from Obama. Why Kenya and not Moldavia? Why the hell are you bringing up Nixon and the Vietnam War? That doesn't have anything to do with it, but if you insist, it was JFK and LBJ that started it.
Is it cheaper to book a safari separately when going to Kenya or as a package? I am interested in going to Kenya next year around May time for my holiday.

Are unwanted children in Kenya a greater threat to the US than terrorists? Would god agree? Tony Perkins suggested that Obama thinks unwanted pregnancies in Kenya are a greater threat to national security than terrorists. I'm not joking. He said this on CNN this morning. This man is the president of the family research council, a conservative christian organization. Do christians really want this idiot to be one of their representatives? All you have to do is go to CNN.com. I'm sure there will be an article with quotes. Mr. Perkins is a jackass.

What do you think about Obama's cousin in Kenya enforcing Muslim law? Obama has a paternal first cousin in Africa, also a politician, and some of the things he is doing to the people in Kenya are deplorable. He is forcing the entire population to accept Muslim law. Many Obama supporters claim there is no connection to these two. However, in 2006 Obama was a featured guest at a Raila public event and two years later they spoke on the telephone (2008). What do you think about this connection?

How can I get seeds for WHITE-blossoming Selenicereus grandiflorus sent to me in England or Kenya, please? In the USA the natural habitat of this climbing cactus seems to be only on the east coast of Florida. It usually grows up trees. If there are seed-exchanging groups who could help me, I'd really appreciate it. Perhaps there is a member of a cactus specialty group who could respond. It would be very difficult for me to receive either seeds or cuttings in Kenya, because of the bureaucracy here. It would not be illegal to send or receive them here, but the bureaucrats would want to go through all sorts of red tape, if it were cuttings that were being sent. Indeed, if it were seeds and the bureaucrats detected them in the envelope, the red tape would start spooling out, too. However, if seeds or cuttings could be sent to my address in England, there would be no difficulties. Thanks for whatever help anyone can offer. I loved these flowers as a child in Florida and now for the first time I am in a region where I can grow a white garden and have these glorious blossoms -- in Kenya.

Did Obama make any statement regarding Kenya where tribal killings involved his cousin? Does he have any reaction to what is happening in Kenya? Being labeled by his Kenyan brothers as the "Kenyan wonder boy in the USA", he must have grieved the death of innocent people being hacked to death in his father's country. Odinga, his cousin, heads the group and fighters against Kibaki and his government. Obama had been to Kenya and had pictures taken with his family there.
What Obama comments uhm I mean action about riot in Kenya ? His father is Kenyan, he has a lot of families still in Kenya. Isn't it the best time for Obama to prove to us about his capability. I'd like to know his comment, if possible his action about the seriously bloody genocide riots happenning in Kenya. If he never say anything about this riots I think it is rude because it is about the homeland of his father. He is half Kenyan / half American.
Why do people ask questions only about South Africa and Kenya ? I get tired of seeing same old questions.
