based on 6 experiences from female travelers
I felt very safe in Nairobi, unlike what people say. I could go out by myself, and it was easy to get around using Bolt. I visited the giraffe nursery, which was a nice experience, and you can get very close to the giraffes while feeding them.

Its actually safe depending on the exact location and the time But it's generally a safe place to be Plus a lot of locals are really friendly you'd like it here Would recommend visiting with a local to make it safer

it depends on where you are and at what time , otherwise it can be safe and you can avoid being in wrong places at the wrong time. Also avoid using your mobile while on the streets and flaunting cash
Posted: June 1, 2026Not very safe in terms of robberies and all. Very low gender based crime though; just crimes that would happen regardless of gender. Keep your phone safe, don’t be out walking. Police are generally unhelpful and can frame you for drugs if they find you walking at night so be safe
Posted: April 19, 2026Robbery has reduced lately... All you have to do is keep your phone safe if walking in the CBD, and when in traffic in a car, keep the windows up to avoid having your phone snatched. You may also be overcharged for things if you aren't a local which is normal.

Nairobi is generally safe in the upmarket areas. While travelling in a vehicle, keep the windows closed especially when the vehicle is stationary in a traffic jam. Keep your phone out of sight. Always be aware of your surroundings. Nairobi residents can easily spot a tourist, but are usually very friendly to foreigners.
Posted: March 24, 2026not very safe at night especially in town😬 try not to make eye contact with people who appear strange keep your phone out of sight at all times but look confident when using your phone out in public
