Nairobi is where almost every Kenya safari starts. Wilson Airport, for the light aircraft, sits in the city.

Why go

Nairobi National Park is a real park on the edge of town, worth a morning if you land early. It is not the Mara.

What you come for
One night, a city park, and the flight to the reserves the next morning.

Where to go

The baseA city hotel for one night, close to the flight you are taking.
The pairingThe Mara, Amboseli, or Laikipia. Do not drive to the Mara on the afternoon you land.

When to go

When to go
The city is open all year. Choose the dates for the park you are flying to.

Travel advice

Before you travel
Nairobi's malaria risk is not the same as the coast or the parks. Ask a clinic about the whole route. Use the hotel's advice after dark.
