If u are tired to walk , you can always take matatus. these are colorful minibusses.
always packed with locals (and a few tourists)
even with loud music inside and at night with blacklights.
normal price : 10 shilling, but as a you are tourist sometimes you pay 20 shilling, wich is still nothing. just pay the man and enjoy the adventurous ride, i found it real fun.
At night taxi are also good, haggle about the price go/back. and he will wait for you the whole night.
