Nairobi Kenya Travel Guide - African Dream
Nairobi Kenya Travel Guide - African Dream
Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and the largest city in the country. In addition to its urban core, the city has Nairobi National Park, a large game reserve known for breeding endangered black rhinos and home to giraffes, zebras and lions. Next to it is a well-regarded elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Nairobi is also often used as a jumping-off point for safari trips elsewhere in Kenya.
The word Nairobi derives from a water hole known in Maasai (an Eastern Nilotic language) as Enkare Nyirobi, which means cool waters. Nairobi, which was a swamp area, was founded in 1899 and was first a railway camp for the Uganda Railway. The city became Kenya’s capital, which was Mombasa initially, and it also became the capital of the British East Africa Protectorate in 1905. With the spread of plagues in the early 1900s, the town was burnt down and had to be rebuilt. Having a railroad system in the system helped it to have drastic growth, becoming the second largest city in Kenya behind Mombasa.
The city of Nairobi also grew due to administration and tourism businesses (mostly big game hunting). The British, who were one of Kenya’s colonizers, set up shop in Nairobi, leading to the creation of big hotels primarily for the British hunters. Also, Nairobi has an East Indian community from those who are the descendents of original colonial railway laborers and merchants.

Nairobi National Park
Giraffe Centre

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.

Hayes & Jarvis | 2 Minute Tour of Kenya
If you're looking for inspiration for your next getaway, let Hayes & Jarvis be your guide.
In this video, we take a 2 Minute Tour of unforgettable Kenya.
Direct flights from Heathrow to the capital, Nairobi, take just 8 and a half hours, so you’re closer than you might think to this diverse adventure and beach destination.
Diani Beach, with its soft sands and calm seas, is a great place to enjoy the tropical climate of Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. Relax here after a week or two exploring the vast plains.... The safari experience is what brings people back year after year, but the beaches are amazing too.
The jewel in Kenya’s safari crown is the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The Big Five — lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant — all live here, among other species, such as zebra, giraffe, hyena and a wide variety of birds. It’s also home to the semi-nomadic Masai people, whose fascinating culture you can experience first-hand.
A big highlight of a Kenyan safari is the annual migration — almost two million wildebeest, zebra and antelope move from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the neighbouring Mara between July and November each year. It simply doesn’t get better than this for wildlife spotting.
There are plenty of options when it comes to your safari. Just a few hours’ drive from either Nairobi or the coast and you can be enjoying the country’s best loved parks and most incredible landscapes. On a classic game drive, your expert local guide will take you by jeep up close to all the action. You’ll learn so much about the animals from your guide, and the exhilaration of a game drive is an experience you’ll never forget. Just keep your camera at the ready!
Add a touch of luxury — and avoid any long transfers — with a fly-in safari. Simply head straight in to your chosen National Park by light aircraft from Nairobi or Mombasa. And ... for a completely different type of adventure, why not glide above the vast African plains on a hot air balloon safari and watch as some of the world’s most outstanding nature unfurls below?
Whichever type of holiday you choose in Kenya, there is accommodation to suit all tastes. On safari, luxury lodges and tented camps keep you close to nature, while still providing all the amenities you need, and coastal hotels offer panoramic views of the Indian Ocean as well as a place to wind down after time spent exploring the game-rich national parks.
Holidays to Kenya are the ultimate African safari dream. What are you waiting for?

[VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPTION]
'My name is Becky and I’m a single mother of a son called Louis.
I longed to be a truck driver since I was a young girl.
This was because my dad was a truck driver.'
John Kinyua – Operations Manager East Africa: 'Becky is the first female truck driver in East Africa.'
Becky: 'I love my job – I drive my travellers or guests to national parks to see wildlife “Ok My Guests! In front of us we have white rhinos”
At first, men used to give me a hard time, I used to be very bullied. Every place that we go to, they will react'.
George Njau – Workshop Manager: 'First time I came here, I was so shocked to see a lady driving a truck. A lot of companies call me, they say: George – there’s a lady driving your vehicle. I said: Yeah. “how?” What do you mean how?. You saw her driving it. “Does she fix it?” I said yeah, she services the truck on the side of the road. She changes tyres. People think she’s supposed to be back in the village or in the house, cooking for her husband or cooking for her kids.'
Becky: 'They would even come and block me in the front. Like in Tanzania, they scream. Those ones would tell me: “Becky! You’re not supposed to be driving a truck, you’re a woman. Why should you! Can’t you go home and do something better? Maybe take care of your family. Anything to make me feel like I’m not supposed to do this.
There were some men who were like “I don’t think she should be in the truck that I’m in” That day, I think I cried half of the day, and I never had cried before. George is one of the person I will never forget. Because if it was not for his encouragement, then, I was to quit.'
George: 'Becky I been like “don’t lose hope. You’ll find challenges. People talk bad about you, but keep strong, and you’ll make it.”
Becky: 'Nakoudini Amini – Nakoudini Amini is believe in yourself.'
Workshop team: 'I was very new. So she helped me with some tips for the road. And I wished for her to carry me. Take me for a ride. And… it was awesome.'
'I think she drives it like she was born with it. She knows the truck inside out. She does what I can do. She’s one of us. She’s not different from anyone.'
Becky: 'I have been driving trucks for Intrepid for the last six years.'
George: 'Becky is very famous. The police know her, even the border. They see her, and they are like “Bring it”. She comes here in the office and everybody is chatting up with her. She has to run away: “I have work to do”. She’s part of our family, and we’re really proud of her.
My daughter, she loves Becky so much because she is driving trucks. She call her Aunty Becky. “One day I’d like to drive like Aunty Becky”. I say: “even you can drive if you want to, just have the courage, determination, and you’ll make it through”. People think she has triumphed. She has done what a lot of females do not accomplish.'
Becky: 'I just told her once: “Mum, do you know that I’m a truck driver?” “Oh my goodness!” she looks up and says: “I wish your dad can see you”.'
George: 'She has made a lot of companies think about employing female drivers now. So we’re looking forward to having a second lady driver, just all because of Becky. She encourages a lot of women now. A lot of women are looking to do driving.'
Becky: 'You say: “I’m a go-getter”. You’ll get it, you’ll get whatever you want.'
George: 'I’m proud to say that, we have the first female driver in East Africa, and that is Becky.'

A day with Kenya's soon extinct Chimpanzees at Sweet Waters sanctuary-Ol Pejeta
The Christmas holidays provide ample opportunity for anyone who wants to get close nature to do so. For example, did you know that chimpanzees share up to 98.6% of their genetic makeup with humans? Apart from that, they are also very social animals. Our very own Sharon Momanyi got to spend a day with a group of chimps right here in Kenya and now reports on these fascinating relatives of man, that are now facing the danger of extinction.
