About Nairobi
Africa's safari capital: a modern, cosmopolitan city where Nairobi National Park sits on its doorstep. Home to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (elephant orphanage), the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum. Most safaris start or end here; worth at least one full day before or after your trip.
