What gives Nairobi its unique character?
The Kenyan capital is a sprawling city located on the Nairobi River. It’s one of the biggest urban areas in Africa and features striking modern architecture set amid natural beauty. Visitors can see the diverse wildlife at the nearby Nairobi National Park, as well as enjoy the excellent shopping and restaurants in town. It’s the only major city to have a game reserve inside its limits, and Nairobi is frequently cited as one of the best places for fine cuisine in Africa.
Where are the main business events held in Nairobi?
The Kenyatta International Convention Centre is a 28-storey building in the Central Business District. Events held here include the International Trade Show on Concrete and Construction Machinery, the Africa Exports & Imports Fair, and the Annual East Africa Oil and Gas Summit. As the base of several government offices, it’s regarded as one of the most important and expansive conference centres in the world. The centre is just a 20-minute drive from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, and is close to many luxury hotels. Nairobi is also home to the offices of the United Nations Environment and Human Settlements Programmes.
What else can I enjoy while staying in a hotel in Nairobi for business?
Nairobi’s restaurants are a key part of many travellers' itineraries. Carnivore, which (unsurprisingly) serves a wide variety of meats, is regarded as one of the city's best luxury restaurants. The Lord Erroll, just up the road from the United Nations headquarters, is popular with the city’s international business clientele. With the national park so close, it’s also well worth visiting during your time off in the city. It features an enormous variety of wildlife, including giraffes, lions, leopards, and baboons.
