Despite being the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi offers its guests the best of both worlds. Known as the safari capital of Africa, Nairobi caters to those who love big city life and those wanting to experience ‘wild’ Africa.

In town for a business conference? A family holiday? Whatever the reason, make sure not to miss out on the opportunity to experience and explore Nairobi. Here are our suggestions:

SEE WILD AFRICA AT THE NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK:

Famously known for being the only game reserve in a major city, the Nairobi National Park is a successful rhino sanctuary. It also has its very own black rhino breeding programme. rhino, nairobi, wildlife

Over 100 mammal species call Nairobi National Park home. So, keep an eye out! You may just spot a black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs or hyenas. There have also been over 400 bird species spotted visiting the park.

Sit and relax under the trees in the park’s picnic sites.  Explore the park on foot with hiking trails or opt for traditional game drives. Just be sure to pack snacks, a camera and a pair of binoculars.

EXPLORE CITY LIFE WITH A NAIROBI EXPERIENCE:

The best way to understand the spirit and energy a city has to offer is to sit down with a local!  Take the opportunity to see how the locals live and go on a guided tour through the city of Nairobi.

Go on a Nairobi Experience and take a walk through Uhuru Park, a piece of paradise in the city centre. Soak in Nairobi’s history, and visit historical sites.

The tour also includes a Nairobi food experience. Experience Kenya dishes and delicacies at a local restaurant.

TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO LEARN AND LOVE:

Visit some special animals who will never forget you! The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is dedicated to the protection and preservation of elephants and rhinos. elephant, nairobi, africa

Learn all about their elephant and rhino orphanage. As well as the conservation and anti-poaching efforts put in place to protect these majestic animals.

Hear the orphan’s stories and find out how others have successfully been released into the wild.

You can also donate to the Trust or adopt your own baby elephant or rhino. Your money goes towards the cost of vet check-ups, food, shelter and most of all, a safe place for it to grown up.

Before you go off and explore, make sure you book a bed at the beautiful Fairview Hotel. Lie by the poolside while you wait for your tours to start. Grab a cup of rich Kenyan coffee while you plan your day, or rest between adventures in a comfortable bed and spacious room.
