1 day 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.

Start off your visit on the 9th (Fri): look for gifts at Utamaduni Craft Centre, then look for all kinds of wild species at Wildlife Areas, and then stroll through Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

For other places to visit, maps, ratings, and more tourist information, go to the Nairobi route maker tool.

If you are flying in from Germany, the closest major aiport is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. August in Nairobi sees daily highs of 27°C and lows of 16°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
