Nairobi
Nairobi is Kenya's capital and the arrival point for most safaris, with international flights landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and domestic flights leaving from Wilson Airport. It is a lively city and easy to enjoy for a day or two before or after a safari.
Nairobi National Park, minutes from the city centre, holds lions, giraffe, buffalo and black rhino with skyscrapers on the skyline. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage, the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum are popular half-day visits.
Staying a night in Nairobi on arrival helps travellers recover from long flights and makes connections to the Masai Mara or Amboseli more relaxed.
Highlights

- Elephant orphanage and Giraffe Centre visits
