Nairobi

Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, is a cosmopolitan and lively city, the largest between Johannesburg and Cairo.

With the majority of our Kenyan safaris starting or ending in Nairobi, safari pitstops in Nairobi are almost inevitable. Stay in Nairobi and you'll find a town full of hustle and bustle, which gives you a chance to experience a very real part of Africa - street hawkers, overflowing taxis, and probably some of the most unconventional driving in the world!

Like many other African cities, Nairobi has its share of bustling markets, skyscrapers, dusty shanties and leafy suburbs with sweeping gardens. It's a great safari pitstop where you can wander through book shops and send off your post cards to envious neighbours.

Nairobi has some great hotels and are plenty of places to eat. With excellent restaurants and shopping opportunities, you'll find plenty to keep you busy. On the outskirts of Nairobi you can visit the Elephant Orphanage, Karen Blixen's house or have afternoon tea with giraffes at Giraffe Manor.
