About Nairobi

Safari gateway with a national park inside the city

Nairobi is the gateway to Kenya's safaris, and one of the few capitals with a national park on its doorstep. Giraffes, elephants and rhinos live within sight of the city skyline.

Most visitors spend a day or two here for the park, the Giraffe Centre, the elephant orphanage and the Karen Blixen museum, before heading to the Maasai Mara.

Best time
July to October (the dry season and the Great Migration in the Mara) and January to February. Long rains fall from March to May.
How long
Two days.
Getting around
Taxis and ride-hailing apps (Uber, Bolt) are the safest options. Traffic is heavy; allow plenty of time.
