Cheap Flights to Nairobi (NBO)

Despite its rough-edged reputation the Kenyan city of Nairobi is actually very hospitable if you stay within the tourist-friendly areas, with cafes, bars and clubs all welcoming those who have just disembarked from cheap flights to Nairobi.

Flights To Nairobi

Travellers on Nairobi flights from the UK will be in the air for about eight and a half hours. Each flight to Nairobi touches down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport which is a little under ten miles from the centre, making transfers to the Nairobi hotels nice and short.

Getting Around Nairobi

For the more adventurous, you have the option to use Nairobi car hire, although navigating the city can be difficult and proper preparation is advised. The alternative is to take the bus, which is relatively simple. Taxis are considered to be expensive but once dark falls you're better off paying a little more to ensure your safety, and remember that fares are always negotiable.

What To See In Nairobi

Many safari seekers jump on Nairobi flights and then use the city as a base before embarking on excursions into the wilds of Africa which surround it. Nairobi National Park is a few miles out of town and packed with wildlife, with big cats such as cheetahs and lions lounging in the sun and hunting alongside herds of zebra and long-necked giraffes. To learn more about the country's history visit the National Museum of Kenya, which not only has thousands of fossils but also close to 1000 animals which have been preserved by taxidermists.
