Budget travel in Nyali: 5-day itinerary for tourists

It’s summertime, and the travel bug is starting to bite.

Your family keeps tossing vacation ideas your way, and suddenly the mood has shifted, it’s time to start planning.

But before you pack your bags, there’s one thing you need to get right: your travel budget.

If you don’t plan carefully, you might end up overspending and hurting your finances.

Have you ever come back from a trip only to realize you spent way more than expected , and now you're borrowing money to get through the month?

It’s a rough place to be, and no one wants that.

Since I live in Mombasa, I want to show you how you can enjoy a family vacation in Nyali without blowing your budget.

First, what’s Nyali all about?

Now, you might be thinking: "Isn’t Nyali expensive? How can I afford to stay there with my whole family?"

That’s a fair concern, but it’s doable. Here’s how:

1. Book an Airbnb instead of a hotel

Airbnb is often a better option for families. You get more space, more freedom, and you can cook your own meals, which saves money.

Prices vary depending on the exact location in Nyali, but on average, you can find decent places between Ksh 7,000 and Ksh 15,000 per night.

Depending on your family size and budget, I recommend booking a two-bedroom or three-bedroom Airbnb.

Use platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb.com to search and compare prices.

Here’s a rough estimate of what your accommodation budget might look like for a few days in Nyali:

• 2-bedroom Airbnb: Ksh 7,000–10,000 per night

• 3-bedroom Airbnb: Ksh 12,000–15,000 per night

Planning this way will help you stay within your means and enjoy a stress-free vacation with your family.
