Kenya's Nairobi
Central Nairobi
This booming metropolis boasts a rich array of office towers and luxury hotels, as well as several lesser known pockets of local treasures. Divided into three main districts, the Southwest, the Northwest and the East, there remains several highlights not to be missed within this powerful eastern capital.
Explore the City Market, a bustling center of color, noise and activity, where fresh produce and flowers rest beside tailors, haberdashers and seamstresses, offering delightful insight into the capital’s rich culture, or delve deep into Nairobi’s more historic side at the National Museum, where extensive collections of paleontology and ethnography await, as well as a life-size statue of the famed Ahmed, the federally protected pachyderm infamous for his 300 pound tusks.
