I will stay in Naibori for 1 night and another 2 nights alone after
Safari trip. Is it safe to walk around there alone if anyone has been
there before?

Eunice,

Nairobi is considered a very dangerous city with high crime rates, so I
would strongly suggest not going out alone. There are some interesting
sights to see like the animal orphanage etc nearby but arrange with the
hotel to have someone take you there. If you venture out alone,
especially at night, you'll likely be mugged.

Here's a link to a story about a robbery in a safari camp near the
Masai Mara a few weeks ago, with some comments about crime in general
.... if the Russian ambassador got robbed and stabbed in town and the
golf courses need armed guards then you know it's not a very safe place
....

Here's a clip from the above story ...

"Visitors are told to remain alert to the risk of violent crime. Last
year two Japanese tourists were injured when armed bandits held up two
tour vans. A similar incident was reported further north in Samburu
National Park.

Security officials at western embassies in Nairobi suggest that
criminals are getting bolder, particularly in towns and cities. Latest
travel advice issued by the Foreign Office warns tourists: "There
have been a number of armed attacks on golf courses around Nairobi. Be
extra vigilant while playing in remote areas away from the clubhouse of
any golf courses." Several golf courses in Nairobi employ watchmen
armed with bows and arrows to patrol distant fairways.

Elsewhere, billboards warn women to protect themselves against rape and
offer advice to drivers in the event of a carjacking.

Small arms left over from civil wars in neighbouring Uganda, Somalia
and Sudan are easily available in Kenya. Banks and restaurants are
protected by security guards and homes in well-off suburbs stand inside
high walls, razor wire and electrified fences; but money and status do
not always offer much protection.

Valery Egoshkin, the Ambassador for Russia, was stabbed on Sunday
during a robbery."

And so it goes ...
