Top neighborhoods in Nairobi

Westlands

Westlands blends sleek corporate towers with high-end shopping and vibrant nightlife in Nairobi's premier business district. Hit up Sarit Centre and Westgate malls for luxury brands, then wander between contemporary art galleries tucked inside office buildings. When hunger strikes, choose from upscale Italian, Lebanese, or fusion African restaurants lining Parklands Road. Rooftop bars offer stunning skyline views while serving craft cocktails until the wee hours. Getting around is easy with abundant matatus and ride-sharing services connecting you to downtown. Business travelers appreciate the modern hotels with conference facilities, though expect to pay more for everything in this upscale neighborhood.

Nairobi Central Business District

Nairobi Central Business District buzzes with towering office blocks and the iconic cylindrical Kenyatta International Conference Centre dominating the skyline. Shop for colorful handicrafts at the vibrant Maasai Market or dive into the sensory feast of City Market with its fresh produce and local vendors. Take a breather at nearby Uhuru Park or Jeevanjee Gardens when the urban energy gets overwhelming. Dining options range from street food vendors serving nyama choma to upscale restaurants in office towers. Most business activity winds down after 5pm, so plan accordingly. Getting around is easy with abundant matatu terminals and bus stations, though traffic can be heavy during rush hours.

Karen

Karen blends luxury with nature just minutes from Nairobi's bustle. Wildlife encounters await at the Giraffe Centre, where these gentle giants bend down for up-close hellos. History buffs can wander the colonial-era Karen Blixen Museum and its sweeping garden grounds. Between wildlife sanctuaries and high-end shopping at The Hub Karen, the neighborhood offers a perfect mix of adventure and comfort. Dining options range from Italian bistros to authentic Kenyan cuisine in tree-shaded settings. Most attractions require transportation, with Uber and private vehicles being the easiest ways to navigate between sites. Accommodations lean upscale, with boutique hotels and luxury lodges nestled among the neighborhood's lush, quiet streets.

Gigiri

Gigiri combines diplomatic sophistication with unexpected natural beauty right in Nairobi's exclusive heart. The Village Market offers upscale shopping while the magnificent Karura Forest provides miles of hiking trails past hidden waterfalls. The UN headquarters complex adds international flair with its striking modernist architecture surrounded by embassy flags fluttering along tree-lined avenues. The dining scene features elegant restaurants serving refined international cuisine to a cosmopolitan crowd. Luxury hotels and diplomatic guesthouses dominate the accommodation options with premium amenities. Getting around requires private transport or ride-sharing apps, as public transit is limited in this serene, security-conscious neighborhood.

Kilimani

Kilimani delivers all the perks of an upscale Nairobi neighborhood without the downtown bustle. Tree-lined boulevards connect glass-fronted corporate towers with luxury shopping at Yaya Centre and The Junction malls. Rooftop restaurants serve up international cuisine alongside stunning skyline views. The leafy streets hide embassy buildings and gated communities perfect for travelers who appreciate a quieter Nairobi experience. Getting around is a breeze with Uber services usually arriving within 10 minutes. Matatu routes connect you to the CBD just 15 minutes away.
