Know more about traveling from Nairobi

Nairobi's accessibility varies significantly across the city. Modern shopping centers, international hotels, and some attractions accommodate wheelchairs well. However, many sidewalks, older buildings, and transport options may present challenges. Planning ahead is essential for accessibility needs.

Nairobi requires standard urban safety precautions due to its size and economic disparities. Stay in well-regarded areas, avoid displaying valuables, use reputable transportation, and follow local advice. Many tourist areas are well-patrolled and safe during daylight hours.

Key attractions include Nairobi National Park (wildlife within city limits), David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (elephant orphanage), Giraffe Centre, National Museum, Karen Blixen Museum, and vibrant local markets. The city offers unique wildlife experiences alongside cultural attractions.

Kenya uses the Kenyan shilling (KES). Credit cards are accepted at major hotels, restaurants, and shops in Nairobi, though many smaller establishments prefer cash. ATMs are widely available throughout the city, and US dollars are accepted at some tourist establishments.

English and Swahili are the official languages in Kenya. English is widely spoken in Nairobi, especially in business, tourism, and hospitality sectors. Swahili is commonly used in daily life, and learning basic greetings is appreciated by locals.

In Kenya, tipping 10% is customary at restaurants for good service. Tip safari guides, hotel staff, and taxi drivers modestly. In tourist areas, tipping is expected and appreciated as an important income supplement for service workers.

Traditional foods include ugali (maize staple), nyama choma (grilled meat), sukuma wiki (collard greens), samosas, and fresh tropical fruits. Nairobi's diverse population means excellent cuisine from across Kenya and East Africa, including Ethiopian and Indian influences.

The best time to visit Nairobi is during dry seasons: December-March and June-October. These periods offer pleasant weather for city exploration and optimal conditions for nearby safari experiences. Rainy seasons can make some roads challenging but bring lush green landscapes.
