Why Walk Nairobi

Nairobi defies expectations at every turn. The city center is compact and walkable, with the National Museum, Kenyatta International Convention Centre, and lively markets all within reach. The Karen and Langata suburbs offer a different walking experience — the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre, and Karen Blixen Museum sit amid green, leafy streets. Nairobi National Park, visible from downtown skyscrapers, is one of the few national parks bordering a capital city. The creative districts of Westlands and the burgeoning gallery scene along Rosslyn Riviera showcase contemporary African art and design.
