Reasons to visit Nairobi
Nature on your doorstep
When you fly to Nairobi, you’ll find nature just outside the city limits. With just a short drive, you can soon be watching zebras and plenty more incredible local wildlife grazing in the 45 square miles of lush greenery at Nairobi National Park.
Glimpse endangered species – such as the black rhinoceros – and spot lions, crocodiles, hippos, rhinos, buffalo and gazelles in this incredible attraction. Photographers will love the contrast of Africa’s wildlife with the backdrop of skyscrapers.
See conservation in action
Take a trip to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see orphaned elephants and rhinos being rehabilitated. The trust flies in baby animals from across the country and cares for them until they’re ready to return to the wild.
Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre is another great spot for getting close to nature. The centre breeds the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and then releases calves into the wild when they’re about two to three years old. Resident giraffes are tame enough to come right up to you. It’s a once in a lifetime chance to see these African giants and help a good cause.
Try out your haggling skills
Nairobi’s vibrant and colourful Maasai markets are some of the city’s best attractions. Don’t miss the chance to pick up a hand-crafted African souvenir, practice your bartering skills, or simply experience the hustle and bustle of the marketplace.
You’ll find stalls filled with art, wood carvings, jewellery and a rainbow of fabrics. There’s bound to be something beautiful you can’t wait to take back home. Markets across Nairobi open daily, apart from Mondays.

Flying to Nairobi: FAQs
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.
Why we love Nairobi
“Nairobi is always exciting. Nothing beats the thrill of going out on safari then heading back to the city for a delicious meal. Nairobi is also a great base for exploring the rest of Kenya.”
