Kenya'nın resmi para birimi Kenya Şilini'dir (KES).

Bir mobil para transfer platformu olan M-Pesa, küçük veya büyük ödemeler için Nairobi'de en büyük platformdur. Visa ve Mastercard gibi büyük kredi kartları da yaygın olarak kabul edilmektedir, ancak küçük tüccarlar banka kartı kullanmadığından küçük alışverişler için nakit veya Mpesa bulundurmak faydalıdır. ATM'ler ve döviz bozdurma hizmetleri kolaylıkla bulunabilmekte ve bazıları (büyük alışveriş merkezlerinde) USD veya Euro verebilmektedir.

Major credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted as well, but having cash or M-Pesa for small purchases is helpful, as small traders do not run bank cards. ATMs and currency exchange services are readily available and some (in major shopping malls) can dispense USD or Euro.

Nairobi'ye Ulaşım

1. Havayolu ile:' Jomo Kenyatta Uluslararası Havalimanı (NBO) Nairobi'nin ana havalimanıdır ve dünya çapında büyük şehirlere bağlantıları vardır. Ulusal havayolu şirketi Kenya Airways (KQ), Sky team Alliance'ın bir parçasıdır ve Afrika içinde ve dışında önemli noktalara uçmaktadır.
2. Karayolu ile:' Doğu Afrika Bölgesi'ndeki komşu ülkelerden seyahat ediyorsanız, Easy Coach ve Tahmeed gibi otobüsler Nairobi'yi Kampala, Darüsselam ve Kigali gibi şehirlere bağlar.

Nairobi'de ulaşım

1. Arriving from the airport for scholars and attendees: Airport shuttle buses will be provided for scholars and any other attendees who would like to make use of our airport shuttles. Info will come via email to registered in-person attendees in July for them to sign up to the airport shuttles. The shuttle buses will pick up and drop off at all the terminals at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
2. Shuttle buses provided to official events: There will also be shuttle buses taking people on the tours listed and to/from the closing event.
3. Araç çağırma uygulamaları: Uber ve Little Cab güvenilir ve uygun fiyatlıdır. Uber chap chap'tan (ekonomi) her zaman kaçının, araç kalitesi genellikle yetersizdir ve sürücüler biraz profesyonel değildir. Comfort ya da en azından Uber X'i tercih edin. Little Cab için de aynı şekilde, ekonomi yolculuklarından kaçının ve Comfort'u tercih edin.
4. Matatus:' Bu şık ve renkli minibüsler kültürel bir deneyimdir ancak ilk kez kullananlar için bunaltıcı olabilir. Bazı güzergahlar yankesicilerle de ünlüdür. Bu seçeneği Yerel Vikipedistler ile birlikteyken kullanın.
5. Boda Bodas: Motosiklet taksiler trafikten kaçınmak için hızlıdır, ancak daha az güvenlidir - Nairobi'de yeni olan yabancılar tarafından kullanılmasını tavsiye etmiyoruz.
6. Yürüyüş: Geceleri veya uzun mesafelerde yalnız yürümekten kaçının.

1. Avoid displaying valuables in public.
2. Only use online-hailing taxis.

Nairobi promises to be an exciting and enriching destination for Wikimania 2025. With its blend of vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and unique experiences, your trip will be unforgettable.

The gathering will happen at multiple venues throughout Gigiri, a small and easily navigable neighborhood, to allow participants an opportunity to experience diverse offerings and the warmth of Kenyan hospitality. Wikimania will be hybrid, offering both in-person and virtual participation.

Each of the different in-person venues have their own individual capacities. Overall, in person this Wikimania will be similar in size to Wikimania Singapore because of venue restrictions. For the event we have had a total of 725 places to fill including scholars and other attendees. The final number of attendees may vary slightly depending on cancellations and last minute additions. If you have booked flights and hotels but not managed to register, email us at wikimaniawikimedia.org.

• The venue hotels will be conducting bag checks on the way in for all attendees – these will go through the hotel scanners.
• We will also have security staff throughout the venue.
• If the alarm goes off please follow the instructions of venue and security staff.
• Expect security check points coming out of the airport for hand luggage and going into the airport for all luggage.
• You will also need to go through a security scanner on the way into the airport and this involves coming off the bus and then back on again, before the main airport drop off area.
• Take care in the town – make sure you use Ubers and travel in groups to suggested restaurants in either Gigiri or Westlands areas. There are many options also in the Village market Mall next to the Trademark.
• Don’t walk alone at night. Use hotel or conference-arranged transportation.
• Carry ID while in Kenya such as driving license, avoid carrying passport, always have a copy of your identification in digital format as well.
