Jambo! Welcome to Nairobi!
The capital city of Kenya is an exciting, cosmopolitan and interesting place. The city centre is compact, and arriving in Nairobi is a good introduction to the modern urban African lifestyle.
Most travellers visit the city as their starting and ending point of their safaris.
Nairobi started life as a local watering hole for Maasai tribes. This all changed with the advent of the railway, and it was already a substantial town by 1900. In 1905 it took over from Mombasa as the capital of the British protectorate. Today is is the largest city in East Africa, and indeed is the largest city between Cairo in the north and Johannesburg in the south.
With tourism growing globally, the tourism industry in Kenya is very vibrant and is the fastest growing sector, so your consideration of visiting Kenya is right on queue. Nairobi city has improved its image greatly over the past few years to reaffirm its position as the cultural and economic capital of East and Central Africa.

Karibu Nairobi
Meet Bernie and Jacky, your local connection in Nairobi. In recent years we've seen our city transform itself from a dusty city, at times dangerous and lacking in glamour, into one that is clean, vibrant and safe. We greatly welcome the increased numbers of visitors that this has brought our country, but we also recognize the potentially harmful nature of tourism as well. Due to this, we are involved in preventing exploitation of Maasai villages by overzealous and unscrupulous tour operators, as well as working with hotels and conference organizers to encourage more contribution to worthwhile Kenyan charities.
