Kenya’s cosmopolitan capital, Nairobi is an exciting and polarizing city that lies as a gateway to the astounding natural beauty of Eastern Africa. A great place to stop before or after your luxury safari holiday, the city flaunts a welcoming culture, alluring museums, vibrant nightlife and surprisingly impressive dining scene, all while sitting on the doorstep of Nairobi National Park – home to world’s densest concentration of black rhinos, alongside zebra, giraffes, buffalo and leopards.
It is a convenient base to access the several local attractions which include the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum among others. Nairobi has 2 airports: Jomo Kenyatta International airport for international travel and Wilson airport for domestic and safari circuit flights. A road transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Wilson Airport takes anywhere between 30 to 40 minutes.
