Nairobi at a Glance
About Nairobi
Nairobi, the vibrant capital of Kenya, is a city like no other. Its unmissable vibe is set against the backdrop of the majestic Ngong Hills, and the standout attraction is the world-famous Giraffe Centre, where visitors can feed and interact with these gentle giants. What sets Nairobi apart is its unique blend of urban and wildlife experiences, making it a must-visit destination for any traveller.
The best time to visit Nairobi is during the dry season, from July to October, when the weather is pleasant and wildlife spotting is at its best. For first-timers, a practical tip is to stay in the Upper Hill or Westlands area, which offers easy access to the city's main attractions and is considered a safer and more upscale neighbourhood.
