Serving as the largest city and capital of Kenya, Nairobi is one of Africa’s most cosmopolitan cities. It’s an essential stop for many travellers visiting the wildlife reserves of Kenya and Tanzania, with an outstanding choice of restaurants, cultural attractions and a pulsing nightlife.

It’s home to the Karen Blixen Museum and the famous Giraffe Manor, as well as a renowned elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. You don’t even have to leave the city to start your safari adventure, with the Nairobi National Park home to endangered black rhinos, giraffes, zebras and lions. If you’re overnighting in Nairobi before flying home, you can pick up souvenirs and gifts at one of the well-stocked curio markets.
