Nairobi rewards a day or two: a national park at the city’s edge, an elephant orphanage, museums, markets and one of Africa’s best food scenes.
A classic city day pairs an early Nairobi National Park game drive with the Sheldrick elephant orphanage and the Giraffe Centre, before markets, the Karen Blixen Museum or a long Nairobi lunch.
