Described as the beating heart of Kenya, Nairobi is a vibrant, animated and modern city that offers everything you would expect from a cosmopolitan capital and more. It's a city of contrasts, both contemporary and traditional, metropolitan and wild. Filled to the brim with shops, cafés, restaurants, markets and museums, Nairobi still seamlessly encompasses the stunning nature that surrounds it in the National Park. After learning more about Kenyan history at the National Museum, barter your way through the bustling Maasai markets. At the fascinating Bomas of Kenya, delight your taste buds with the local cuisine and witness tribal traditions. You’ll find no better way to end your day than experiencing Nairobi’s energetic café culture and nightlife. And, just to remind yourself that you're still in Africa’s safari capital, on a clear day you can see all the way to Mt. Kenya from the Kenyatta International Conference Centre’s dizzying viewpoint.
