Arriving into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport puts you at the gateway to exploring Kenya's bustling capital of Nairobi. With a city of this size, getting your own set of wheels by hiring a motorcycle, scooter or quad is the best way to freely discover all that's on offer. A top attraction is the Nairobi National Park, located just south of the city. Here you can spot wildlife like zebras, giraffes and lions roaming across the grasslands against the backdrop of the metropolis. Heading further south leads you to the elephant orphanage where you can see rescued baby elephants being cared for. Back in the city centre, the National Museum provides insight into Kenya's heritage with cultural artefacts and fossils. No trip is complete without experiencing the vibrant nightlife and culinary scene. The Florida 2000 club offers dancing and DJs spinning tunes well into the morning hours. For a taste of traditional Nyama Choma barbecue, head to the open air Carnivore restaurant where meat is roasted over charcoal fires. Wash it down with Tusker, a local Kenyan beer. Just outside Nairobi, motorcycle rides become even more adventurous. The Great Rift Valley's steep escarpments make for scenic views and winding roads. In Naivasha, glimpse grazing hippos during a boat ride on the freshwater lake. At Hell's Gate National Park, cycle or walk among zebras, warthogs and ostrich. For a peaceful retreat from the city, visit Giraffe Manor where you can hand feed endangered Rothschild's giraffes from your balcony. With so much to experience in and around Nairobi, having your own scooter, motorcycle or quad rental opens up all the possibilities.
