Nairobi is simultaneously one of Africa's most modern cities and its most grounded. It is the tech hub of East Africa, the gateway to some of the world's most spectacular wildlife, and a city with a warmth and cultural richness that most first-time visitors don't expect. The cost of living is genuinely manageable, flights from Lagos are competitive, and the eTA process is one of the easiest visa processes available to Nigerian passport holders.
