One of the limitations of traveling to Africa is the slow pace with which its travel industry has in embracing the use of technology. Many would be travelers today are more comfortable on making a payment by use of a credit card for the following reasons

1. At the top of the list is the fact that i can pay for it now look for the money and 30 days later refund the credit card company.
2. It is less cumbersome as traditional methods of payment require one to go the bank and transfer the money while a credit card payment can be done from my home or desk-top
3.It is thus much easier and faster to finalize the transaction.
4. I can then say it cost less in terms of time and money as opposed to traditional ways since you do not have to queue at the bank, burn fuel to get there and then make phone call follow-ups.
5. Credit card payment is today a much safer way of transacting since a third party 'the merchant’s involved. It is for this reason that a number of African organizations are quickly taking up this idea of enabling credit card processing on their website and acquire a competitive edge against those who have not yet done the same.
A few websites in Kenya, Egypt and South Africa such as www.intokenya.com are already offering holiday makers an easier way of booking their accommodation and saving time spent calling hotels and agents to get bookings.

Nairobi Hotels

Nairobi a maasai word "Nairob" which means cool waters never ceases to amaze me. Many times i awake at dawn especially during the unbearable warm nights of September, October and November just to take an early morning walk to drop off my son near the bus-stop this gives me chance to waken and appreciate the beauty of the sun with a mixture of a cool breeze in the air and the sounds of birds chirping everywhere. No wonder people love Nairobi so much. Even when i leave the place on assignment or for leisure i always want to come back in a short while. The surburb towns and estates are excitingly green with lots of fresh air a far cry from where i stay near the industrial area. I promise myself that one day i shall leave and go to live in this places but again it is dream that may take a life time to fulfill but then again we can always dream. Many times while in the city i look at some of the towering hotels in Nairobi the magnificent Grand Regency hotel that has been the center of controversy for many years yet it stands beautiful, the Norfolk Hotel the paradise for many former colonial masters and their progeny, it over looks the university of Nairobi what a stark contrast between the two,the Stanley Hotel which for the last thirty years was always known as the New Stanley Hotel and it kept me wondering why it was always net yet i had seen it from child hood and could never help wishing that i was the one how would be setting on the other side of the thorn tree restaurant and someone else was the passer-by. The sweet smell of Coffee on Kimathi street reminds me of the Java another hot spot.
