Nairobi

Standing at an altitude of 5,500 feet, Kenya’s capital Nairobi is the largest city and cosmopolitan hub of East Africa. It is also the only city in the world to be situated right next to a National Park! Nairobi is often just a transit point for tourists heading out to enjoy a safari or beach holiday, but there are plenty of worthwhile attractions to keep visitors busy for a day or two.

As the most populous city in East Africa, it comes as no surprise that Nairobi is a bustling city and hub for a range of restaurants and bars. The wide range of cultural influences here make for a varied and interesting visit, and make for a diverse selection of culinary options.

Many of the tourist attractions can be found in Karen, one of the more upmarket suburbs of the city.

Highlights include visits to the giraffe centre, where guests can learn about the conservation process in place for these majestic creatures, and the Daphne Sheldrick Orphanage, where guests can pay a visit to the fascinating Karen Blixen museum and observe baby elephants.

Nairobi is also awash with local crafts, and is a great place to pick up a few souvenirs.
