Hotels near Wilson Airport - WIL, Nairobi

, and although my time there was brief, I managed to pack in some truly memorable experiences in Nairobi. A standout part of my visit was definitely exploring the Illusions Museum Nairobi at the Garden City Mall. I had so much fun navigating all the mind-bending and interactive exhibits. It was such a unique and playful atmosphere, and I probably took way too many photos! It offered a cool, modern contrast to the other sights I was seeing and was a great way to add a fun, contemporary stop to my Kenyan adventure. I'm so glad I made time for it during my short stay!"

Really unsafe place, the whole Kenya in general. People are not welcome with tourist at all. They care only to take money without even providing the necessary. For what they are providing the prices are selling is extremely high. Food and water from wherever we ate during 14 days caused us illness. Kenya worth it only for safari 3-4 days are enough to leave the country with good impression. Pick up and drop off from the airport and straight to safari.

Vibrant city, with great restaurants and cafe. I like staying in Westlands for convenience and use of expressway- just 20 minutes to the airport, 30 minutes to Karen and less than 10 minutes to city centre.

Nairobi is a vibrant and welcoming city that seamlessly blends modern urban life with rich culture and natural beauty. From its warm, friendly people and diverse cuisine to unique attractions like Nairobi National Park right next to the city, it offers an unforgettable experience. It’s an excellent destination for travellers seeking adventure, culture, business, and relaxation all in one place.

I've been to other parts of Africa and on this trip stayed at Maasai Mara, and Lamu on the coast prior to returning to Nairobi. Most visitors seem to travel around the country when there. The trains/planes/buses are not expensive and easy to manage. Food was included in some of my stay; I also ate at small local restaurants and tried street food several times -- always seemed to be tasty and fresh. There are tons of "trips" available for solos to join groups, but they tend to be expensive because transport (gas) costly; entrance to Nairobi National Park now $80 US, extra for special venues (elephant, giraffe rescues). Plus transport. I took a really interesting trip to Gatura Green Purple Tea Farm -- pick your own leaves, learn what you're doing wrong when you make a brew at home, walk through the fields and forest, and enjoy a really delicious lunch with tea in every course! Maasai Mara pretty special, wilderness but impressive and plenty of animals. Lamu very interesting, small old trading town on the SE coast; donkeys; best mangoes ever; good fish; complex history. Hot. Nairobi huge highly polluted chaotic but def worth a visit (National Museum has a ton of info, well worth your time). I travelled on a very tight budget but K has plenty of good cheap hotels (best to always include breakfast) with nice service most everywhere and food excellent quality (very fresh) and not too pricey, try the small local cafes. Lots of poverty and underemployment but the Kenyans I met were welcoming, polite, very soft-spoken and pleasant at every level. Many different languages spoken, altho English available most everywhere. But learn a couple of native words and a bit of history before you go, if you want to be polite too!

Great vibrant city with lots of friendly people and way too many places to visit. Thankfully we used an uber equivalent for our travels - traffic can be scary at times :-) Many nice pubs and restaurants to everyone's liking.
