🌍 About Nairobi

Nairobi is the rare capital where lions roam within sight of the skyline, its national park pressing right up against the city limits so you can track rhino and giraffe against a backdrop of office towers. Mornings are for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where orphaned elephants are bottle-fed, and the neighbouring Giraffe Centre, where Rothschild's giraffes lean in for eye-level introductions. Trace colonial-era history at the Karen Blixen Museum, haggle for beadwork at a Maasai Market, then dig into a smoky plate of nyama choma in Westlands as the evening fills with music. Matatus blare past in painted chaos, coffee runs deep in the local culture, and the great plains of the Maasai Mara beckon beyond.
