Nairobi, Kenya's capital, is East Africa's biggest city and the only capital in the world with a national park inside its limits, where lions and giraffes roam with skyscrapers in the background.
Wildlife
Nairobi National Park has lions, rhinos and giraffes just minutes from downtown. The Giraffe Centre lets visitors feed endangered Rothschild giraffes, and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust cares for orphaned baby elephants.
The city
The Kenyatta International Convention Centre has a rooftop viewpoint. The Karen Blixen Museum was the home of the author of Out of Africa. The Maasai Market sells crafts.
