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).
