Navigating Nairobi City

Nairobi, fondly known as the "Green City in the Sun," offers an experience unlike any other global capital. At Stejos Tours, we specialize in bridging the gap between a bustling metropolis and the raw African wilderness. Our City & Wilderness Tours are designed to show you the heartbeat of Kenya, starting with the crown jewel: Nairobi National Park. Just 7km from the skyscrapers, you can witness lions, rhinos, and giraffes against a backdrop of city towers. We combine this with visits to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where you can see orphaned baby elephants being bottle-fed, and the Giraffe Centre, where the endangered Rothschild giraffes can be fed by hand.

For those seeking tranquility and a bit of "hidden" wilderness, we offer guided walks through Karura Forest, one of the largest urban forests in the world. Here, you can hike to multi-tiered waterfalls, explore Mau Mau caves, and spot monkeys and diverse birdlife. If you prefer a panoramic view, we take you to the top of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) for a 360-degree look at the city skyline.

How Things Work Locally:

Navigating Nairobi is an art. The city thrives on a "warm greeting" culture. Starting an interaction with a polite "Jambo" or "Habari" opens doors and creates instant rapport. While English is the official language, a few Swahili words like "Asante" (Thank you) and "Tafadhali" (Please) are highly appreciated. For transport, while the colorful Matatus (mini-buses) are iconic, we recommend our private executive transport or trusted apps like Uber/Bolt for city movements to ensure safety and comfort.

Safety & Etiquette: What to Beware:

Nairobi is vibrant but requires "city smarts."

• Valuables: Avoid displaying expensive jewelry or large sums of cash in busy areas like River Road or crowded markets.

• Photography: It is strictly prohibited to take photos of government buildings, military installations, or the Parliament. Always ask for permission before photographing locals.

• Plastic Ban: Kenya has a strict ban on single-use plastic bags. Ensure you don't have them in your luggage upon arrival.

• Bargaining: In markets like the Maasai Market, bargaining is expected and should be done with a smile—it’s part of the social fabric.

By choosing Stejos Tours, you aren't just booking a ride; you are gaining a local partner who ensures you experience the best of Nairobi while staying safe and culturally informed.
