Best Tours & activities in Nairobi (2026)

Nairobi is the starting point for most Kenyan safaris, and the city has operators to suit every budget and style. Pollman's Tours and Safaris, founded in the 1950s, runs scheduled and tailor-made trips with a large fleet, while Bonfire Adventures in the city centre sells packages that often suit residents and budget travellers. Gamewatchers Safaris, based in Karen, specialises in small Porini camps in private conservancies and runs the Nairobi Tented Camp, and Cheli & Peacock Safaris designs bespoke, upmarket trips across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

If you only have a day, a city tour is an easy way to see several sights without arranging taxis between them. African Spice Safaris runs a daily tour from Nairobi hotels that combines the Karen Blixen Museum, the Giraffe Centre and Kazuri Beads with lunch included. Whoever you choose, ask for a written itinerary, check what is included, such as park fees, meals and transfers, confirm whether vehicles are shared or private, and note the strict luggage limits on light-aircraft safari flights.
