Nairobi City & Wildlife Experience

Nairobi is the beating heart of Kenya - a dynamic, cosmopolitan capital where glass towers rise alongside a national park teeming with lions, rhinos and giraffes. It is the natural gateway to the country's great safari destinations and a dazzling destination in its own right.

The Nairobi National Park, right on the city's doorstep, offers a surreal wildlife experience, while world-renowned attractions such as the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's elephant nursery, the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum bring Kenya's heritage vividly to life.
