About Nairobi

Welcome to the real concrete jungle. Nairobi is a charming, cosmopolitan city, blessed with the most wildlife in the world, making it a great safari destination. Known as the ‘Green City in the Sun’, Nairobi is the largest city as well as the capital of Kenya. Furthermore, it is the most populated city in East Africa, and the fourth largest city in Africa.

July through September is the prime time to visit Kenya and its neighbour Tanzania. This is the dry season and the height of the great migrations which see thousands of wildebeest and other wildlife moving between the Mara in Kenya to the Serengeti in Tanzania. The season is dry, meaning more comfortable travel if travelling by road and wildlife will be easier to encounter as the flora is not as lush, allowing better viewing. January and February is the peak season in terms of tourism.
