Default Kenyan currency

What's the best way to get Kenyan currency?

I normally convert some UK pounds to foreign currency and then use my credit
card to get more cash (using a cash dispenser) when I am actually on
holiday. Is this feasible in Nairobi and Mombasa? Or should I use
travellers' cheques?

Cheers.

Bobby

In Nairobi you can use cash dispensers. There is one at the airport, and the
banks have them. You just want to be careful not to walk around with more
cash than you immediately need, and be discreet in handling it. Keep the
extra in your hotel safe.

Why?
