Kenya
Nairobi
Large city hotels for the night you land, and the companies that leave for the Mara before dawn.
Before you go
Best months. June to October, and January to February, if Nairobi is the start of a safari. The city itself is a one-night stay in any month.
What to choose first. Choose the hotel for the night in the city. Choose the operator for whoever leaves for the Mara at dawn.
Nairobi · Hotel
Kenyatta Avenue Hotel
A large central hotel for the night you land and the night you fly out. The rooms are high enough that the avenue is a view, not a noise, and the airport car is part of the desk's job.
Nairobi · Hotel
Westlands Court Hotel
A large Westlands hotel with a pool and enough rooms for a group flying in together. It is a better night if your Mara company collects from this side of the city.
Nairobi · Hotel
Gigiri Green Hotel
A large hotel in Gigiri, used by people who want gardens between the airport and the city. Quieter than the avenue, further from a walkable dinner.
