A NIGHT IN NAIROBI
Incredible Sunsets. Incredible Nightlife

Welcome to Nairobi! We can’t wait to meet you right at the airport at our new kiosk, Safari Gateway, or we’ll see you at our offices in town for your safari prep.

But before you head out on your adventure, you might want to look over the many fun activities to see right here in town. Like visiting the Giraffe Centre, the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, or the world’s only wildlife park right next to a world-class city, Nairobi National Park.

However, most visitors don’t know that Nairobi is also a busy, lit-up nightlife scene of restaurants, clubs, discos, cabarets, and more.

At Africa Kenya Safaris, our chief mission is to share Africa’s incredible parks and wildlife. But before or after your safari, we would love to show you our big city lights to complete your Kenya experience.

We can create a personalized nightlife package of select spots that will suit your taste, style, budget, and interests. Just look over the many listings below and when we meet, we can design your customized Night in Nairobi 

The Best Sunsets

Happily for anyone in Nairobi, before the coming of the dark night are the famous and spectacular Nairobi sunsets. Some say their blaze is due to the city being on the equator; others attribute the painted skies of brilliant reds and oranges because of the dust settling in the atmosphere.

Either way, we can begin your Night in Nairobi with a beautiful sunset at any of these perfect vantage points:
