Discover the top places to visit in Nairobi

 
Nairobi is often known as the safari capital of Africa. It is the ideal base from which to travel to Kenya’s many national parks, but it is also the only capital city in the world to be home to large herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, rhino, cheetah, and a large number of lions living wild within 20 minutes of the center of the town.

In addition to its abundant wildlife, Nairobi is well known for its shopping, commerce, and cultural attractions. With Best Western Plus Westlands located in the heart of the city, you will be ideally placed to experience all of the magic Nairobi has to offer during your stay.
