Incredible national parks, shopping, museums and even Africa’s largest ice rink. Wow.
Kenya’s the undisputed king of safari and with forest-fringed beaches competing for your time, you’d be forgiven for hot footing it to the nearest Jeep. But don’t be so quick to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city as soon as you’re off your flight to Nairobi. There’s more on offer here than you might think.
Haggle your way through diverse markets to discover traditional clothing, jewellery and African souvenirs to squeeze into your suitcase on your return Nairobi flight. For some action after sunset, relax with the locals over a cocktail on Langata Road and dance the night away to some hot salsa tunes.
