Why Nairobi
Nairobi occupies a unique place in African travel, serving as both the gateway to Kenya's world-famous safari regions and a destination in its own right. Whilst many visitors pass through on their way to the Masai Mara, Laikipia or Amboseli, the city's leafy suburbs, historic properties and wildlife experiences offer compelling reasons to linger a little longer.
Much of Nairobi's appeal lies beyond the commercial centre, in quieter neighbourhoods where elegant hotels, beautiful gardens and a slower pace create a welcome contrast to the energy of the city. Experiences such as breakfast with giraffes, visits to conservation projects and afternoons spent in tranquil surroundings have helped establish Nairobi as far more than a simple stopover.
The city also provides an easy introduction to Kenya's wildlife and conservation story. Nairobi National Park lies just beyond the skyline, while a collection of exceptional hotels and boutique properties offer a comfortable place to unwind before or after a safari. For many travellers, Nairobi marks both the start and the conclusion of a memorable journey through East Africa.
