Destination Overview

Why visit Nairobi?

Nairobi is both Kenya’s main international gateway and a destination in its own right. Guests can combine Nairobi National Park with conservation centres, museums, neighbourhood experiences, shopping and dining. It works particularly well as a pre-safari or post-safari stay, allowing Courtesywide to attach city activities to a private safari without mixing them into the day description.
