What is Nairobi famous for?

Nairobi is one of the largest cities in tropical Africa and a centre for government. But the capital of Kenya is probably best known for its abundant wildlife and amazing greenery on the edge of the city.

How long should I spend in Nairobi?

As a capital city with amazing wildlife to explore, you could easily spend a week in Nairobi and still not see everything. Ten days is probably enough to take in a safari, explore the city and immerse yourself in the unique culture of Kenya.

What food is Nairobi known for?

Staple foods such as ugali (maize dough), githeri (maize and beans) and kachumbari (a salsa-like salad) can be found on most menus. Nairobi is also famous for its Indian-inspired cuisine, with chapati, pilau and sumptuous samosas served across the city. Nyama choma is a Maasai delicacy – a roasted meat dish usually served with ugali.
