Nairobi: Introduction

Nairobi is one of the fastest growing cities in the African continent and a great place to tune in to urban African sensibilities. A natural departure point for most safari itineraries, Nairobi is also commonly called the ‘Safari capital of the world’. A town full of hustle and bustle, Nairobi gives you a chance to experience a very real part of Africa as the city is crowded, chaotic and big with street hawkers, overflowing taxis, and perhaps the most haphazard driving in the world. The city has a reputation of being unsafe with lax security and countless instances of mugging and pickpockets. However, this should not take away from the fact that a holiday in Nairobi is worth it. The raw beauty of the place supersedes all drawbacks, and if you are extra careful with your belongings and movements, you can soak in what this magnificent African city has to offer and have a fulfilling holiday in Nairobi!

Nairobi is all about striving and surviving, and is made up of many different worlds and identities, some of which never meet. A holiday in Nairobi will guarantee you every aspect of African life if you leave behind any inhibitions you carry, and brace yourself for a holiday packed with adventure, surprise and a little bit of life on the wild side!!
