Nairobi in Kenya is the most populous city in East Africa and a great up and coming holiday option. The image of lions, giraffes and rhinos going about their day in front of a landscape of skyscrapers rather than jungle sounds like a CGI children’s film rather than something you can experience first-hand. The Nairobi National Park is one of the city’s most renowned and visited tourist attractions – no wonder it is labelled the Safari Capital of the World. Along with numerous safaris, there are a wide range of other attractions, such as burgeoning live music scene, some of the continent’s most renowned restaurants and a number of art galleries and museums. Kenya is also synonymous with coffee; grab a cup at one of the many coffee houses around the city.
