Nairobi's International Airport (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport), is the entry point for most visitors coming to Kenya, and consequently, most travellers spend a little time in the Kenyan capital.
There is a good choice of accommodation here including country-house style hotels in Karen and some upscale boutique hotels. There are many activities to pass the time - at the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage you can admire the young ellies, the rehabilitation programme and learn about optimism for the future. The Giraffe Centre has been critical to the continued survival of the endangered Rothschild's giraffe and the Karen Blixen Museum is evocative of colonial Kenya and the past explorers.
