Unlike robbers; muggers are sporadic
and migrate from one region to another once they realize they are on the police
radar. The most notorious points are traffic
jam bound areas as well as several major junctions.
The
dangerous routes include;
Thika Superhighway between Survey and Kenyatta University
Globe Cinema roundabout is notorious for robberies and muggings by
organized gangs of street people.
Along Waiyaki way, muggers sit on the benches that are there
simply waiting for the right time to strike
Other dangerous areas to avoid are Race Course Road especially at OTC and
Landhies Road, where gangs snatch mobile phones and handbags.
The stretch between Nyayo stadium and Haile Selassie Avenue are
areas notorious for muggings.
Other crime spots in Nairobi are;
Stretches of Uhuru Highway,
Railways club,
Parliament road,

More Tips
Be wary of people offering you taxi rides.
When in traffic jam it is advisable that when you see people start
to surround your car hold down the horn constantly as it will alert other
drivers and any police officers close by if lucky enough. It should make them
run away also.
Possible crimes around
these areas are; Robberies, Kidnapping, Mugging, Carjacking, Rape
The routes mentioned are considered dangerous places in Nairobi because some of the crimes
occur in day time therefore, it's very important to be watchful when you
reach certain spots. Some of the spots are in stretches where the road
is damaged and drivers are forced to reduce speed and at times they
will try to stop the vehicle.
