City Guide - Nairobi

Nairobi has much more to offer for than the crowded and jammed streets. What makes Nairobi a must see city? Well first it used to be called the City in the sun before lack of planning and environmental degradation  took place. That was back in the 80s. The uniqueness of Nairobi makes it a must see why? It has a National Park. Which other city in Africa has a National park within its capital city? Nairobi.


The best way to explore Nairobi is definitely by using a reliable tour guide. A tour guide who will give you an itinerary of where to go and what to see.

What to see: There is definitely lots to see; at the Nairobi National park you can have a game drive here, Nairobi Safari walk at the Nairobi National park where you can take a nature walk, the Giraffe center in Karen, snake park which is at the National Museums and the National Archives the best place to come and learn about Kenya's history.

There are four major shopping malls within the city which are all inclusive and they cover some of the major highways: The Galleria at Langata Road, The Junction at Ngong Road, The Mall and Sarit Center in Westlands, Westgate Shopping Mall in Westlands and Capital Center on Mombasa road.

Where to eat: The best solution to all your eating problems actually in terms of finding locations is Eat Out Kenya an online eat out directory with all the major eateries in  Kenya,  in addition the site offers reviews about these places so you get to choose where you prefer to go.
