Nairobi Family Vactions

Can Nairobi, the bustling, crowded capital city of Kenya, really be a kid-friendly destination? Certainly! While many travelers quickly pass through on their way to safaris, families in the know book a few nights of their Africa vacation in Nairobi. It’s perhaps best known as the location of the Giraffe Manor Hotel — children never forget the way the giraffes poke their heads through the windows of this charming and intimate estate. Other kid-friendly experiences in Nairobi include a visit to the Maasai Market, picnics in one of the many protected parks around the city, and visits to several of the animal sanctuaries.
