Nairobi Travel Guide

 14 Reviews  A well worth trip is to the David Sheldrick Wildlife trust. If you are on Safari then you will see plenty of the wild herds of elephants later, but this will give you an insight into the problems these wonderful animals have to put up with. The orphans you see have all been victims of some... 

 23 Reviews  This modest monument in Nairobi National Park commemorates the founding of the park in 1946 - the first national park in Kenya, which opened the door for the subsequent proclamation of iconic parks such as Masai Mara and Amboseli. 

 8 Reviews  The National Museum in Nairobi is a wonderful place to visit if you have some spare time. I was actually stuck in Nairobi due to flight issues, so I headed to the museum to see what was there. This place had several interesting collections, both dealing with natural history as well as cultural and... 

 5 Reviews  The Uhuru Park is the most popular recreational park in Nairobi, is a rich tapestry of strife and celebration in Kenya. The sight of soldiers resplendent in colorful uniforms and marching to music beautifully performed by a military band, is as common as the violent disruption of political protests... 

 7 Reviews  Many others here on VirtualTourist have written about this museum. I am not going to add any more to what they have said. While I will do is provide a list of links here for those who would like to read further about what others have said about this museum. Karen Blixen was a settler here in the... 

 5 Reviews  The trip through the Great Rift Valley is certainly spectacular and, believe it or not, the 14 hour drive is certainly well worth the effort. The Great Rift Valley in Kenya is well known as the domain of the Maasai people who live in simple tow or three room mud huts, arranged in a circle and... 

 5 Reviews  Crescent Island is situated on lake Naivasha and is actually a private game sanctuary. As mentioned earlier, you are able to do a walking safari here where you can get up close and personal with a multitude of wildlife including zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, vervet monkeys, hares, genet cats,... 

 5 Reviews  If you are short on time (or money) and do not wish to do a full safari, then Nairobi has its own small version right by the actual city. You can see a large number of animals, though some said this was more like a UK safari Park in scale than a real wilderness such as the Massai Mara. 

 4 Reviews  As the name hintsd, this is mostly a conference and convention center (you will also see it as the motive of a 100 KSh bill) but the top floor has a platform where you have a good view of downtown Nairobi. The centre is also surrounded by a small park with fountains etc so might be a good place for... 

 2 Reviews  Visiting Animal Orphanage is nice half day trip and it's a must when in Nairobi. The admission is 800 shillings (7 €) including guide. Orphanage is not the same as the zoo is, here they prepare animals to return back to their natural environment, when ready to survive there. However, not all baby... 

 9 Reviews and 207 Opinions  Another hotel in which I never stayed over night. Probably because of the price, my Kenyan friends... 

 Twan Says:  In case you take a taxi check if it is a good car and agree on price and safety before you leave. When you have a solid driver keep him for the days you need him. Keep your doors and windows closed in city traffic.
