Welcome to
Nairobi
Kenya
Nairobi is East Africa's most vibrant and cosmopolitan capital — the only city in the world with a national park on its doorstep, where lions roam against a backdrop of downtown skyscrapers. It is the primary gateway to Kenya's world-famous safari circuits: the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo are all within reach. But Nairobi itself rewards exploration: the Westlands dining scene, the Maasai Market crafts, the Karen Blixen Museum, and a startup and arts culture that has made the city a hub of African innovation and creativity.
