Kenya
Nairobi is strongest when travellers treat it as a city break with unusual wildlife access, leafy museum stops, and a few focused neighbourhood outings rather than a pure urban sightseeing sprint. Traffic and transport choices matter, but the mix of city and safari-style experiences makes it easy to build memorable short stays.
