Nairobi is the largest city in Kenya and is the only major city in the world that has a game reserve within city boundaries. The weather right now is pleasant, with the last leg of winter – a welcome change for UAE residents. They have major hotels like the Fairmont and Crown Plaza among others for those who want a more luxurious experience. You can also purchase souvenirs and Kenyan jewellery at major malls like the Galleria shopping mall. If you are going for more than 3 days, getting a Kenyan sim will only put you back around Dh4 to give you huge savings in calling back home, while you could get up to 5GB data for around Dh30. Don’t forget to visit the giraffe centre in the city where you can personally feed and spend time with these beautiful creatures.
