Nairobi and Central Kenya

Nairobi began as the railroad depot of East Africa in 1899. Since then, it’s become one of the major cities of modern Africa. It’s a vibrant, growing city, a mosaic of many races and cultures, but it still retains its charm, with wide jacaranda tree-lined avenues and colorful markets.

One of Nairobi's standout features is its unique array of attractions and experiences. A must-visit is the Nairobi National Park, located just outside the city center. It is the only national park in the world bordering a capital city, allowing you to witness magnificent wildlife such as lions, giraffes, zebras, and rhinos against a city skyline backdrop.

Whether you are an avid wildlife enthusiast, a history aficionado, or a nature lover, Nairobi has it all. Embark on an unparalleled journey filled with unique attractions, cultural gems, and breathtaking natural beauty.

What to Do in Nairobi, Kenya

For those with a penchant for cultural and historical exploration, Nairobi offers numerous highlights. The Nairobi National Museum is a repository of Kenyan art, history, and culture, featuring fascinating exhibitions and collections. The Karen Blixen Museum, dedicated to the famous author of "Out of Africa," provides insights into colonial-era life and the inspiration behind her renowned work.

Nairobi's natural beauty extends beyond its urban attractions. The city serves as a gateway to the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, where you can witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration. Additionally, Nairobi is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, including the scenic Rift Valley and the majestic Mount Kenya.

Think of Nairobi as your entry point to Kenya, or even Africa, as you ease yourself into a classic safari experience, especially staying at top spots like the Giraffe Manor or Hemingway’s before moving deeper into the savanna.

Nairobi Holidays FAQs

  • Is Nairobi good for a vacation?

    Yes, Nairobi is a stunning place for a vacation when visiting Kenya. Typically paired with a larger tour of Kenya, Nairobi is perfect for those who want a safari without diving too far into the bush, or want an easy safari experience paired with a beach vacation on Kenya’s incredible coast.

  • What is Nairobi best known for?

    Besides its array of museums and poignant cultural heritage, Nairobi is known as the only capital city with a national park right at its border, making a Nairobi safari a truly unique experience.

  • Can you do safaris from Nairobi?

    Absolutely, and we recommend you do! With Amboseli National Park just an hour away and Nairobi National Park on its doorstep, you're spoiled for choice with Amboseli’s incredible birdlife and Nairobi boasting the Big Five and more.

  • Where is the best place to go on safari in Nairobi?

    We recommend Nairobi National Park for a Nairobi safari. Not only is it close by, but you get a one-of-a-kind experience seeing lions roar with a city skyline backdrop. Nairobi National Park is also slightly more under than radar than other popular tourist spots like the Maasai Mara – so you get to experience the same astounding wildlife without the crowds.
