Practical Q&A

Is Nairobi safe for tourists?

No city can be guaranteed safe. The U.S. Department of State currently rates Kenya Level 2 (exercise increased caution) and specifically lists Eastleigh and Kibera in Nairobi as Level 4 Do Not Travel due to crime and kidnapping risk. Review current official advisories before travel.
