Review of Nairobi
Nairobi
An airline ticket to Nairobi takes you to East Africa's most energised city. An important hub for flights, Nairobi is Kenya's holiday capital, and a fine introduction to the land of the safari.
Things to do
Trips to Nairobi National Park are recommended for wildlife enthusiasts. Tickets to Nairobi National Museum provide an absorbing one-stop introduction to the country's history, culture and animals. AFEW Giraffe Centre in Langata is great for seeing the animals up-close.
Shopping
The shopping highlights of a Nairobi holiday are its visitor-friendly markets, like the popular Maasai markets, where rural people in traditional dress sell local handicrafts, from woodcarvings and calabashes to colourful beadwork and batiks.
Restaurants
A flight to Nairobi, the culinary capital of East Africa, offers a huge range of dining, including spicy Swahili, Ethiopian and Asian cuisine as well as superb seafood. There's even Italian at Trattoria in central Nairobi.
Nightlife
There is a bustling nightlife for visitors on Nairobi city breaks or bound for safaris. Tropical Nairobi has plenty of outdoor venues like the central Thorn Tree Café to enjoy a drink in the warm evenings.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Nairobi. Choose the dates of your Nairobi flights to coincide with the temperate dry season (Jan-Mar). Or time your holiday in Nairobi to catch the wildebeest migration as it moves through the Maasai Mara (Jul-Oct).

Get someone who knows the city better and avoid dark areas. travel in well recognised taxis which are marked with yellow line or rather painted yellow which are mostly found in the city center
