Experience Kenya: A day in Nairobi
Ultra-modern skyscrapers, chic cocktail bars, and hip hotels. No, we’re not talking about London or New York — we’re actually describing Kenya’s quirky and cosmopolitan capital: Nairobi. That’s right — this city is full of surprises, and you’ll be amazed from the get-go when you visit. If you’re planning an adventure through Kenya, there’s a good chance your trip will begin and end in this exciting city, so follow along and get ready to be wowed — this is what it’s like to travel in Nairobi.
This city is so much more than just a gateway to Kenya’s wilderness; Nairobi is one of the most modern and fastest growing places on the continent, boasting a vibrant metropolitan atmosphere and a buzzing food and restaurant scene. Spend some time here and you’ll find traditional marketplaces alongside world-class hotels, edgy cocktail bars, and international restaurants. It’s the type of place where you can practice your haggling skills and stock up on souvenirs at a Masai market by day, and tuck into tacos, gourmet burgers, or traditional Kenyan cuisine by night. And speaking of food, this city is becoming increasingly known for its culinary offerings, with new cafes and restaurants popping up constantly. If you’re a foodie, you’re in for a real treat!
There’s no doubt about it: Kenya’s national parks are one of the country’s biggest draws, but Nairobi has its fair share of wildlife-centric attractions to explore as well! And the best part? You can get up close and personal with all sorts of exotic animals without leaving the confines of the city! David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust — a sanctuary for orphaned elephants and black rhinos — offers the perfect introductory to Kenya’s incredible wildlife. On a visit here, you can learn all about elephant conservation and meet and feed the adorable baby pachyderms.
Pleasantly surprised by all that Nairobi has to offer? We thought you might be! If you can’t wait any longer to start planning your trip to Kenya, head over to TourRadar to check out this itinerary and a range of others just like it!

About Riley: I quit my job in October '14 and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand (the Digital Nomad capital of the world) with my best friend on a mission to replace our 9-5 incomes with an online business and continue to travel the world. Well, I'm still here folks and it's amazing.

Travel Guide to Kenya
In this film Wild Frontiers, Jonny Bealby, explains about tourism in Kenya. Here is the text...
Jonny here, right now I am at Borana Ranch, high on the Laikipia Plateau, in the lee of Mount Kenya. And in this short film I am going to talk about tourism in Kenya.
If I asked what's the first thing you think about when turning your mind to travel in this colourful East African country, you'd almost certainly say wildlife. And of course you'd be right as over 80 percent of holidays here will have a wildlife element.
From the Marsabit National Park in the north, to the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Parks in the south, the planes of Kenya are teeming with wildlife or all shapes and sizes offering, along with its neighbour Tanzania, the best place in the world to view game. And if you throw in Mount Kenya and the Aberdares, the Laikipia Plateau and the Matthews Range, the Lamu Archipelago and the rest of the Kenyan coast, and some of the most spectacular and evocative accommodation anywhere on earth, then here in Kenya you have a true world class travel experience.
The Masai Mara is probably the most famous national park. Covering more than 500sqm, the Mara is universally renowned for its exceptional populations of lion, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo and giraffe and for the famous migration of wildebeest that takes place every year from July to October.
But the Masai Mara is by no means the only show in town. Further to the east you have Amboseli National Park with its epic views of Kilimanjaro, to the north you have Samburu, Marsabit and Meru National Parks, and here on Laikipia, in the Lewa conservancy, where the savannah is awash with elephants, giraffe, the quirky Grevy zebra and a new and burgeoning population of black rhino.
And as for the accommodation, well that is quite simply out of this world. Yes, to get the best you're going to pay, but in our opinion the experience you'll enjoy and quality of service you'll receive -- plus of course the game you'll see -- does make this value for money. There is simply nothing else like it on earth. Among many amazing places to stay, my personal favourites are Else's Kopje in Meru, Saruni in Samburu, Richard's Camp or Serian in the Mara, and either Sabuk or Borana here on the Laikipia Plateau.
But tourism in Kenya is not only about wild animals. The Kenyan Coast, stretching all the way from Diani Beach in the south the Lamu archipelago in the north, with its white sand beaches and gentle turquoise seas -- particularly when the trade winds are blowing in the right direction from November through to March -- again coupled with some fabulous accommodation, combine to make this a truly world class beach experience.
And if you like to meet the people -- an important factor in most Wild Frontiers adventures -- there are plenty of opportunities, particularly at Sarara, in the Matthews Range, at Il Ngwesi north or Mount Kenya and here at Borana.
To get around there is are great quality land cruisers, a brilliant air service, either in scheduled flights or on private charters, a classic bi-plane, or if you really want to push the boat out and get to places few others can reach, a truly amazing helicopter service, run by our friends at Tropic Air.
A classic African safari is a travel experience like no other, and one that all travellers should do at least once in their lives. And for that, in my opinion, there's nowhere better than Kenya.

KENYA | Trip of a lifetime
Kenya, a bunch of friends and 3 Land Rovers....the perfect mix to a great African adventure. We spent just over 2 weeks cruising through Kenya witnessing some amazing sights as we passed by Mount Kenya, the Masai Mara, Naivasha, Hells Gate, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and even the bustling capital Nairobi. There was never a dull moment throughout the trip but my favourite moments were seeing the thousands of flamingos in Bogoria and camping out in the Masai Mara witnessing the river crossings during the great migration.
This is just a small bit of what I filmed along the way on my little Lumix Gh5, there is a full length 'visual vibes' film coming soon of the entire trip including everyones footage on Ben's channel, so this is just a teaser ;) .

Is Kenya Safe? | Through The Eyes Of A Local
Patreon:
Instagram:
Fun Fact: I was born in Kenya.
When I tell people I was born in Kenya, the frequently asked question I get asked is.. IS KENYA SAFE?
But the problem with me answering this question is that my parents who lived there for 16 years only surrounded themselves with other Indians. So their perception is skewed to some degree. And I moved to America when I was 3, so I barely remember anything.
But I was still curious to answer this question, so I connected with a local who has lived in Kenya her whole life to help me answer this question: Is Kenya safe?
Enjoy.

Nairobi to Masai Mara Road Trip, Kenya
Hey Guys,
My second vlog of Africa Trip. ????
This vlog is all about our road trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara in safari van.
It was a long day journey but we all were super excited about our first African safari. We started from Nairobi & traveled almost for 5-6 hours.
We stopped at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to take photos and later had African food. The highway road was smooth initially, but last 60 -70 kms were super bumpy.Driving through this road was a beginning our adventure.
After hours of travelling, finally we reached to Enchoro Wildlife Camp in Masai Mara and started our first game drive.
Special Thanks to Bhagya, Priya, Anuja, Vishal & Aniket.

Travelling Kenya on Tour: Travel Vlog with John
Guess who’s back, back again? That’s right, John has returned — and he’s ready to take you on another epic African adventure with TourRadar and Explorations by Collette. Follow along as he discovers the very best of Kenya — from its stellar wildlife to its natural wonders and its tribal cultures — along with plenty of surprises and lesser-known gems along the way. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, or you’re just really curious to see what a Kenya tour is like, you’ve come to the right place! Keep watching to see exactly what John gets up to — there’s a hefty dose of travel inspiration coming your way!
John’s adventure kicks off in Nairobi, the country’s cosmopolitan capital, and continues on through several of Kenya’s most sought-after national parks, from Aberdare to Nakuru and Amboseli. In these destinations, it’s game drives and wildlife galore — so follow along as John searches for the Big Five and gets a first-hand look at the Great Migration (just another day in Kenya). After that, it’s onto the grand finale: the Masai Mara. This spectacular reserve is what safari dreams are made of: it’s one of the best parks for big cat sightings (did you know it has one of the highest concentrations of lions in the world?), and you’re pretty much guaranteed to see leopard, lion, elephant, and buffalo on any trip!
Of course, John does so much more than game drives — he also watches the sunrise over the plains of the Masai Mara from a hot air balloon, sips on surprise sundowners at dusk, gets a sweet (and very wet) kiss from a giraffe, and immerses himself in Kenyan culture with a visit to a Maasai tribe. Spending time with the Maasai people is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary experiences you can have in Kenya, and judging by his reaction after seeing a Maasai ceremony, John agrees!
Is this video fueling your wanderlust? That’s a surefire sign it’s time to start planning an adventure of your own! Head to TourRadar to check out this itinerary and many more — you’re next escape from reality is waiting.
