Nairobi is East Africa's most dynamic capital and the continent's premier safari gateway — a fast-growing, cosmopolitan city of over 4 million people where the extraordinary Nairobi National Park sits literally on the city's southern border (lions and rhinos can be seen against a city skyline backdrop), where the giraffe centre is within city limits, and from where the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Kenya's most famous safari destinations are only a short flight or drive away.

Westlands and Gigiri are Nairobi's most cosmopolitan districts — home to the United Nations complex, international NGOs, excellent restaurants, and several of the city's finest hotels. Karen is Nairobi's most exclusive suburb — named after Karen Blixen (author of Out of Africa), this leafy, spacious area on the city's southwest edge is home to boutique luxury hotels, proximity to the Nairobi National Park entrance, and the famous Giraffe Centre. Upper Hill and the CBD are Nairobi's business centre — the most practical base for business travellers.
