Nairobi

When people think of Nairobi, they often picture a stopover on the way to Kenya’s famous safaris. But Kenya’s capital is a destination in its own right—a city where urban energy meets untamed wilderness, where modern skyscrapers rise beside lush national parks, and where culture, history, and adventure collide.

Here, you can start your morning watching giraffes roam freely in Nairobi National Park, feed an endangered Rothschild’s giraffe at the Giraffe Centre, and visit rescued baby elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. By afternoon, you’re exploring vibrant markets, tasting local dishes like nyama choma, and diving into the city’s electric nightlife. Karen Blixen Museum, Bomas of Kenya, Karura Forest, and Ngong Hills all offer even more ways to experience Nairobi’s unique charm.

This city is fast-paced, creative, and full of surprises—whether you’re an adventurer, foodie, or culture enthusiast.
