Nairobi

Nairobi is more than just a stopover — it’s a city where the wild meets the modern. Known as the “Safari Capital of the World”, it’s the only city in the world with a national park on its doorstep. Nairobi National Park is home to lions, giraffes, rhinos, and buffalo, all set against the backdrop of the city skyline. Beyond the park, Nairobi offers a rich cultural and historical scene: the Giraffe Centre and David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage provide close encounters with conservation, while the Karen Blixen Museum and Bomas of Kenya showcase heritage and tradition. The city itself buzzes with life — from vibrant markets and contemporary art galleries to world-class restaurants and nightlife. Nairobi is where adventure begins, but also where culture, history, and modern Africa shine.

Best Time to Visit: Year-round; June to October and January to March offer pleasant weather and excellent game viewing.

Top Experiences: Game drives in Nairobi National Park, feeding giraffes at the Giraffe Centre, visiting the Elephant Orphanage, shopping at Maasai markets, and dining in Nairobi’s vibrant food scene.
