Welcome to Nairobi

The insider's travel guide to Nairobi

Most visitors to Kenya simply fly in and out of capital Nairobi – which is a huge mistake. Yes, it might be a concrete jungle when compared with the rest of Kenya’s natural landscapes, but vibrant Nairobi is a centre of art, music and cultural heritage. Take some time to explore the city’s music and food scene and you won’t be disappointed.

Asked by: Ian

We have one day spare en route from Nairobi to Diani, can we get to Tsavo with enough time for a game drive that day and the following morning before heading to Diani?

Answered by: Kelvin Ngugi

The journey from Nairobi to Tsavo East takes five to six hours, depending on your lodge. So you'll arrive in the evening – maybe with time for a night game drive, but possible not. You'll get a game drive in the morning before heading to Diani.
