Travel Guides

Nairobi is the largest of the East African cities, and is a rapidly developing urban area at the center of Kenya’s commercial, industrial and political interests. Nairobi started life as a frontiers town, and there is still an energetic, pioneering feel to the place, and quite a few rough edges that still have yet to be smoothed out. This does unfortunately mean the levels of serious crime in the city are significant enough to cause some concern for travelers, and it is a good idea to be on your guard when moving around the city, and avoid going out late at night. Tourists are advised to stick to the safer, suburban districts, which have plenty of good hotels, bars, cafes and restaurants, and also provide excellent access to the nearby national parks and reserves.
