Information for Travelers
Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and the largest city in the country.
This place still evokes all the romance and adventure of its colorful colonial days.
The city evolved from a humble camp for railway workers in 1899 to the capital of British East Africa in 1907.
Today, Nairobi's rich history and tribal culture comes to life in its excellent museums.
But even in such a busy city, the wildlife is a big draw.
This cosmopolitan capital is one of the only cities in the world with a safari park on its borders.
Just a 15-minute drive from the downtown skyscrapers, you can enjoy a classic African wildlife experience at Nairobi National Park.
You will be able to visit this large game reserve where the endangered black rhino is bred.
Also, giraffes, zebras, lions, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, rhinos and buffalo roam the sunny savannah.
Next door is a renowned baby elephant nursery run by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
Culture
The Karen Blixen Museum is a big hit, especially with fans of the book and movie Out of Africa.
They come to see where the eponymous Danish author worked on her coffee farm in the beautiful hills of Ngong.
Nairobi is also often used as a base for safaris in other parts of Kenya.
