About Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenias lebendige Hauptstadt und Ausgangspunkt für Ostafrika-Safaris, mit einem Nationalpark, in dem Wildtiere unter der Skyline leben.

Der Nairobi-Nationalpark liegt direkt hinter den Vororten, und seine Löwen, Nashörner, Giraffen und Büffel sind mit Wolkenkratzern am Horizont zu sehen. In der Nähe zieht ein Waisenhaus junge, in ganz Kenia gerettete Elefanten auf, und im Giraffe Centre begegnen Besucher von einer erhöhten Plattform aus seltenen Rothschild-Giraffen auf Augenhöhe.

Top-ranked sights in Nairobi: Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Lake Naivasha.
