19 days in Nairobi Itinerary

You're likely to visit Nairobi at least once on a trip to Kenya, as the sprawling city houses the country's international airport and remains the jump-off point for many tours and safaris.

Step out of the city life by going to Nairobi National Park and Ngong Hills. Karen Blixen Museum and Nairobi Gallery will appeal to museum buffs. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Nairobi: Mount Longonot (in Maai Mahiu), The Reserve at Rimpa Estates Wildlife Conservancy (in Kiserian) and Waterfalls Inn Tigoni (in Kiambu). There's still lots to do: take a stroll through Kibera, explore the striking landscape of Central Island National Park, see the interesting displays at Nairobi National Museum, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Giraffe Centre.
