Nairobi punches well above its weight for a city of its size. The wildlife is the obvious draw — lions and rhinos within the city limits is not something most capitals can offer — but the museum, the arts scene, and the community tours all reward time spent here.
Key highlights include the Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Giraffe Centre, the Karen Blixen Museum, the Nairobi National Museum, the Railway Museum, and the Bomas of Kenya.
