READ THE GUIDE & BOOK CHEAP FLIGHTS TO NAIROBI

First timers

Adventurous safaris, all-day market hopping and African-style roast dining can all be yours with cheap flights to Nairobi in East Africa. Get lost in Nairobi’s National Museum with its famous pre-historic artefacts or head outdoors and discover birds you've never seen before in the vast National Park. When the sun sets, you can sip cocktails with young locals, before dancing to hot salsa tunes on Langata Road.

Frequent flyers

Take your time to discover local artists at renowned Gallery Watatu, then stroll through the city's lush Uhuru Gardens. Feed the Rothshilds at Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre and watch baby elephants being pampered at the Sheldrick Orphanage. Or use your frequent Kenya flights to go into wilder terrain and drive a jeep along the Tana River.


Shops

Nairobi is teeming with markets, all waiting to be discovered with flights to Nairobi. Browse for traditional dresses at Biashara or haggle for exclusive jewellery on Maasai. The roofed City Market is especially good for African souvenirs, and you can stock up on fresh vegetables on Kariakor. For slightly more conventional shopping, find books and traditional health products at the Sarit Centre.

Nights

On bustling Langata Road, sumptuous roast dishes are served with spicy African sauces and party people fill the happening bars and clubs. You’ll find Ethiopian honey wine in Westlands, fresh African theatre at the GoDown Arts Centre and, if you’re lucky, impromptu percussion sessions on any given street corner - a flight to Nairobi is all it takes.
