It 'a huge place with a lively cosmopolitan cultural scene, good shopping, elegant hotels and restaurants, a killer nightlife and many attractions. Furthermore, it is the only city in the world with a full resort of wildlife on the outskirts of the cityBoundaries.

There are a numberquality and luxury hotel in Nairobi for a comfortable, even if they are not cheap in comparison.

All are conveniently located in the center of town and ideal for Nairobi.

Nairobi has a bad reputation for crime. Personally I think it is exaggerated. I never heardat risk in the city. The city is Askari (guard) and mid-price and upscale accommodations are usually completely closed by the guards. If you go out after dark, it is recommended to take taxis. In addition, tourists should just take the same security in major cities around the world, and nothing unpleasant is likely.
