About Nairobi

Nairobi is unlike any other African capital. Where else can you watch lions roam from the window of a national park just 7km from the city centre? Beyond Nairobi National Park, the city offers world-class restaurants, the famous Karen Blixen Museum, and the Giraffe Centre. Nairobi is also the gateway to Kenya's legendary Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Diani Beach.
