Get to know Nairobi with Viator

From glassy, downtown skyscrapers to sprawling outskirts, Nairobi pulses with youthful, creative energy that defines one of East Africa’s most vibrant cities. Street vendors share space with chic boutiques and handicraft markets; traffic snarls through downtown; and leafy, historical suburbs offer enclaves of privileged calm. Despite the urban bustle, it’s still possible to spot free-roaming wildlife within city limits, where Nairobi National Park is home to zebras, giraffes, and lions.
