Kenya – Nairobi City Top Attractions Adventure Day Tour – (ASA 00032)

Short Overview

Most welcome to the green city in the sun and safari capital of the world

Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi has risen in a century from an uninhabited swampland to a thriving modern capital. It is now one of Africa’s largest, and most interesting cities and one that never seems to sleep, but continues to grow.

Despite Nairobi’s growth into a modern urban center, the iconic Nairobi National Park makes the city the undisputed safari capital of Africa and beyond. It remains the only national park in the world to be found within a capital city. The park is home to large herds of Zebras, Wildebeests, Buffalos, Giraffes, Rhinos, Leopards and a large number of Lions all found here, living wild within 20 minutes from the central business district.

The city’s multicultural, natural and historic features undoubtedly makes it an amazing destination. The entire city has boundless energy, and is a thriving place where all of human life can be found. This is a place of great contrasts where race, tribe and origin all become facets of a unique Nairobi character. The city has not lost its sense of the past, with an excellent museum and the historical home of Karen Blixen, author of “Out of Africa”, open to visitors.

Kenya’s capital city has risen in a single century from a brackish uninhabited swampland to a thriving modern capital.

Modern Nairobi is still the safari capital of the Africa, but the modern world has quickly caught up with the city. A frontier town no more, Nairobi is one of Africa’s largest, and most interesting cities.
This is not a modern capital separated from the great wilderness that surrounds it. Just outside the city is Nairobi National Park, 113 sq. kms of plains, cliffs and forest. The park is home to large herds of zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Giraffe and more. Rhino, Cheetah, and a large number of Lions are all found here, living wild within 20 minutes of the centre of town.

“The World’s only Wildlife Capital”

A short drive out of Nairobi’s central business district is the Nairobi National Park. Wide open grass plains and backdrop of the city scrapers, scattered acacia bush play host to a wide variety of wildlife including the endangered black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes and diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded. Visitors can enjoy the park’s picnic sites, three campsites and the walking trails for hikers.

Cosmopolitan. This is the best way to describe Kenyan cities. Starting with the ‘World’s only wildlife capital’ of Nairobi city to the Coastal city of Mombasa island, Kenyan cities are modern and the whole world is here. These cities are a buzz with amazing skyscrapers, fun nightlife and an urban culture to admire and adopt. On a city tour, you could experience the rich history dotting different sections of the city, take lovely pictures of the cities at night or even experience the real city life of city dwellers on the streets.
