Things to do on a Nairobi safari tour

With that said, there are certain things to do on a Nairobi safari holiday that simply cannot be missed.

As Kenya’s largest and most populous city, you’ll never be short of iconic attractions to explore, and with the surrounding wilderness you’re only ever a short drive away from seeing incredible animals like rhinos, elephants, and even lions. With that said, there are some must-visits that should be on everybody’s Nairobi holiday wishlist, whether you’re a culture vulture or more of an intrepid traveller.

Food and drink on a Nairobi safari tour

Stews and grilled meats are a vital part of food culture in Nairobi, and while there is plenty of seafood it takes a backseat in the capital compared to the coastal regions. There’s also lots of Indian influence in many of the dishes thanks to the huge diaspora, meaning you’re never too far from a delicious chapati and curry.

Although Nairobi has a lot of international venues, it’s best to eat local while you’re here, because then you’ll get the chance to sample the farm-to-table food culture of the country. On safari, you’ll be treated to barbeques, packed lunches, and enough local tea and coffee to never be wanting.
