Your First Day in Nairobi: Things to Do After You Land

Ideas for your first hours and days in Nairobi.

Nairobi city

Nairobi offers much more than a stopover. Here is how to make the most of your first day or two.

Start with a warm welcome

Our Airport Meet & Greet includes Kenyan tea or coffee, an orientation about Kenya, and a transfer to your hotel.

See the city

Nairobi has city walking tours, museums, historical landmarks, markets and local food experiences. Try our Nairobi walking tour or the electric Green Bus city tour.

Wildlife near the city

Nairobi National Park lies close to the city and offers wildlife against a metropolitan backdrop. Sightings vary, so allow enough time for a game drive. See our Nairobi National Park day trip.

Taste Kenya

Join the cooking class to learn ugali, chapati and mukimo.
