The only capital city in the world with a national park on its doorstep — lions and rhinos roam within sight of glass office towers. Nairobi is East Africa's safari hub, gateway to the Maasai Mara and Amboseli, and a city of surprising cultural and culinary depth with a young, fast-growing creative scene.
