Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Nairobi - Settling Into Kenya
Nairobi is a remarkably beautiful city, especially for a capital city. A vast swathe of the city is dominated by Nairobi National Park, which is where you can come marvel elephants that are backdropped by city towers. While the city center is crowded, Nairobi spreads far and wide, offering many bucolic spaces to ease into the Kenyan experience. After landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be transferred to the suburb of Karen, where green space and relaxed vibes can often contrast preconceptions about an African capital city. Today will be at your leisure, and the wildlife encounters should already start, notably giraffes that may peer into your first-floor suite.
