Destination overview
Why visit Nairobi
Nairobi is Kenya’s capital and most important safari gateway, combining international arrivals, Wilson Airport safari flights, conservation visits, restaurants, galleries and comfortable pre- or post-safari stays. It gives travellers a soft landing before the bush, with leafy Karen suburbs, historic hotels, urban wildlife experiences and easy access to both Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport.
The destination’s strongest attractions include Jomo Kenyatta International Airport arrival and departure hub, Wilson Airport for scheduled safari flights, Giraffe Centre and Rothschild giraffe encounters, Karen Blixen Museum and Karen/Langata touring, and Nairobi National Park and urban conservation experiences. Travellers can experience Airport meet-and-assist and private transfers, Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen half-day touring, Day-room use before evening international flights, and Curated dining, shopping and craft stops, with the programme shaped around the season, lodge location, access route and client pace.
For FIT design, Nairobi works best as a 1-night component within a tailor-made Kenya itinerary. It combines naturally with Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Samburu National Reserve, and Lake Naivasha. Urban conservation experiences may include Rothschild giraffes, Nairobi National Park wildlife, birdlife and wildlife education centres rather than a full wilderness safari.
