What to do in Nairobi : Tips, places, hotels and restaurants

Nairobi Kenya's capital Nairobi is just under three million inhabitants. It is located 1500 meters above sea level, which tempers its pleasant tropical climate.

Its main characteristic is the existence of a protected nature reserve within the city, the Nairobi National Park. However, the very rapid increase of its population has resulted in the birth of many slums.

The city is served by an international airport. Very cosmopolitan, the city is busy, you can visit the popular area of River Road with its small shops offering a variety of foods, many museums like the National Museum or the Museum of Serpents, the neoclassical courthouse, the Karen Blixen Museum, with its Colonial interior typical of the early 20th century, the Giraffe Center where you will be able to feed these great placid animals, and of course the national park, or, outside the city, the Ostrich Park.

You'll be struck by the contrast between the skyscrapers that dot the city and nearby nature where wildebeest, zebras and cheetahs inhabit the savannah. And you'll have no problem finding restaurants or hotels, very well located in the city.
