CINEMA & BOWLING LANES

by pj2904

Hi (again)

Whats the recommended way to get to the Cinema complex from Nyali Beach. How far is it?

Cheers.

During the day you could hop on a matatu - only 10 minutes or so away. At night book a recommended taxi to take you and pick you up.

Nyali cinemax should only be 5 minutes drive away from Nyali Beach Hotel it is just down Links road opposite Ratna square.

I've never been there myself as I rarely go to the cinema at home but they seem to have up to date films English/American as well as Bollywood.

Don't know of any bowling lanes.

There's a Hollywood Bowl in the complex, open from 2.00 pm to Midnight.

Enjoy this beautiful country and people.
Do take a Safari and see the countryside and the animals. One day a dance troop came to dance round the pool for the guests I joined in with them and they really made me welcome.

Do go to a Massi village and say Jambo to everyone, that means hello.
Do tip waiters and cleaners and staff at the hotel they get a very small wage and if they give good service depend on tips to get by.Do not waive around large amounts of money. Or go walking after dark it is not safe ether near the hotel or in the bush.

Snorkelling

by hurghadalady

Not to be missed is a diving or snorkelling trip. I would suggest getting a local boat instead of going on an 'organised' trip.

I did both and the local knowledge wins every time. I was taken away from the rest of the snorkellers and divers and had an amazing time.

The coral as rich and vibrant in colour, hasn't been spoiled by tourists yet and as they are always in quite deep water, there is no danger of them being walked upon.

I have never seen such big angel fish before.
