About Nairobi

Nairobi er Kenyas energiske hovedstad og udgangspunktet for safari i Østafrika, med en nationalpark, hvor vilde dyr strejfer under byens skyline.

Nairobi Nationalpark ligger lige uden for forstæderne, og dens løver, næsehorn, giraffer og bøfler kan ses med skyskrabere ved horisonten. Tæt på opfostrer et børnehjem unge elefanter reddet fra hele Kenya, og Giraffe Centre lader besøgende møde sjældne Rothschild-giraffer øje i øje fra en hævet platform.
