Explore the highlights of Nairobi

A metropolis dropped into a landscape of epic wildlife and never-ending plains, Nairobi is a heady mix of busy streets lined with vendors, art galleries and history. You can most certainly shop until you drop at the Maasai Markets where hand-crafted leather items and wooden carvings make for amazing souvenirs. When hunger strikes, the City Park Hawkers offer some sizzling local food like ugali and nyama choma (grilled goat). When you fancy a good dose of nature, the Botanic Gardens are as lovely as promised. Westlands has a bevy of vibrant bars and live music venues for a taste of the night life.
