Best Holidays to Nairobi – The Colourful Capital of Kenya

Nairobi is Kenya’s capital and largest city and also one of the most colourful with bustling street markets, a dynamic night scene with plenty of bars and clubs, delicious African street snacks, beautiful green spaces, charming colonial buildings, cultural museums, and so much more. Brightsun Travel offers a great choice of cheap holidays to Nairobi, including seven night packages to premium four and five star hotels.

Nairobi is a superb cultural centre with a rich heritage worth delving into. We recommend that you take a day out to explore the city’s museums, and the Bomas of Kenya is a great place to start; this remodelled Kenyan village contains preserved artefacts displayed in traditional Boma homes, allowing an insight into the ethnic tribes of Kenya. Another excellent museum is the Nairobi National Museum, which is dedicated to the nature, art, history, and culture of Kenya.

Nairobi is a common base location for safari experiences, as it’s the only capital city in the world with a safari park upon its borders – the Nairobi National Park protects more than 400 species of wildlife and is home to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which protects endangered wildlife and operates a rescue programme for orphaned elephants. Just 40 minutes from Nairobi’s city centre is the Giraffe Centre, where you can encounter the endangered Rothschild's giraffe.
