Nairobi,Kenya
Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya and is widely regarded as East Africa’s most cosmopolitan urban centre, blending modern city life with rich African heritage. Often referred to as the safari capital of Africa, Nairobi is unique for having a world class national park right on its doorstep. Nairobi National Park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, lions, and rhinos, all set against the striking backdrop of the city skyline. Beyond wildlife, Nairobi offers incredible diversity in landscapes, cultures, and experiences, from vibrant neighbourhoods and cultural centres to museums, markets, and green spaces. The city’s dynamic energy, combined with easy access to nature and safari experiences, makes Nairobi a destination where urban life and the wild coexist in a truly remarkable way.
