City & Culture
The city most people transit through and should really spend two days in.
- Nairobi
- Karen
- Westlands
- Kibera
- Ngong
Nairobi is the only capital on earth with a national park inside the city boundary. It also has a restaurant scene worth planning around and a nightlife that does not start until late. Most visitors see the airport and a hotel. That is a waste of a good city.
What people come for
- Nairobi National Park at dawn, twenty minutes from town
- The Giraffe Centre and the elephant orphanage, best booked ahead
- Karen Blixen house and the Ngong hills behind it
- Eating properly — nyama choma, Ethiopian in Kilimani, the Westlands rooftops
Ours to sort out
What we handle on a trip like this.
Roughly how it goes
A shape, not a package.
A starting point we'd happily tear up.
Morning
The park before the city wakes
Gates open at six. Lions with a skyline behind them is a genuinely strange and good thing to see.
Afternoon
Karen
Giraffe Centre, the Blixen house, lunch somewhere under trees. Slow on purpose.
Evening
Out properly
Dinner in Westlands or Kilimani, then wherever the night goes. Your driver waits.
Getting you there
What we'd put you in.
Toyota Crown
Toyota Vitz
