Home to four million, the Kenyan capital of Nairobi is an intoxicating blend of modern city life and easy access to some of the world’s best wilderness areas, including the Maasai Mara and beaches of Mombasa. In fact, it’s the only global capital that borders a large game reserve. You’ll be amazed at all of the attractions it has to offer.

What’s the vibe for solo travellers to Nairobi?

Nairobi is peaceful, and solo travellers are unlikely to experience any issues, regardless of gender – you’ll even feel safe dining alone. A great way to enjoy Nairobi is with a taxi driver on a negotiated day rate, who’ll doubtless end up doubling as your local guide – ask your hotel for contacts.
