The Place

Nairobi, Kenya

City introduction

Nairobi, Kenya
Nairobi · Kenya

The world's only capital with a national park inside it. Nairobi is safari launchpad and destination in one: Nairobi National Park's rhinos against a skyline, the Sheldrick elephant orphanage and Giraffe Centre, the Karen Blixen museum, and a fast-rising restaurant and tech scene. High altitude keeps the air mild year-round, and the city links directly to the Masai Mara, Amboseli and the northern parks.
