Kenya’s capital Nairobi is a city like no other. The buzzing metropolis is a centre of culture and commerce while also being home to just over four million Kenyans.

However, it’s not just a thriving urban jungle – Nairobi is well known for having Nairobi National Park just to its south, meaning that you can escape the bustle any time with a trip to see some endangered species in a pristine environment. It’s also handily placed to access several of Kenya’s other incredible national parks and safari locations, meaning a Nairobi safari holiday provides a wealth of cultural and culinary highlights as well as some of the most astounding natural scenery you’ll ever see and the chance to spot incredible wildlife. With Newmarket Holidays all of the logistics will be planned ahead, so when you arrive in this bustling African city you can focus on diving right into the shimmering sea of street food, live entertainment, and wonderful cultural highlights. Your Nairobi safari is also hassle-free – once you’ve booked, all you need to do is prepare to have an unforgettable experience.

Stews and grilled meats are a vital part of food culture in Nairobi, and while there is plenty of seafood it takes a backseat in the capital compared to the coastal regions. There’s also lots of Indian influence in many of the dishes thanks to the huge diaspora, meaning you’re never too far from a delicious chapati and curry.

Although Nairobi has a lot of international venues, it’s best to eat local while you’re here, because then you’ll get the chance to sample the farm-to-table food culture of the country. On safari, you’ll be treated to barbeques, packed lunches, and enough local tea and coffee to never be wanting.
