About Nairobi
Nairobi is the only capital on earth with a national park on its doorstep: lions, rhinos and giraffe graze against a backdrop of city towers just fifteen minutes from downtown. The city's wildlife circuit is unmissable, morning elephant-orphan feeds at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, eye-level encounters at the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum's slice of Out of Africa history. As the region's flight hub, most East African safaris begin or end here, build in a day; it rewards it.
