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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Aero Club of East Africa (ACEA) and Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages. Let the collections at Karen Blixen Museum and Karen Village capture your imagination. Change things up with these side-trips from Nairobi: Waterfalls Inn Tigoni (in Kiambu), Mount Longonot (in Maai Mahiu) and The Reserve (in Kiserian). And it doesn't end there: take an exotic tour of a safari tour, take a stroll through Kibera, tour the pleasant surroundings at Giraffe Centre, and explore the striking landscape of Nairobi National Park.
