About Nairobi

Nairobi is de energieke hoofdstad van Kenia en het startpunt voor safari's, met een nationaal park waar wild onder de skyline rondzwerft.

Het Nairobi National Park ligt vlak achter de buitenwijken, en je ziet er leeuwen, neushoorns, giraffen en buffels met wolkenkrabbers aan de horizon. Vlakbij voedt een weeshuis jonge olifanten op die uit heel Kenia zijn gered, en in het Giraffe Centre ontmoet je zeldzame Rothschildgiraffen oog in oog vanaf een verhoogd platform.
