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.

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.

Nairobi is relatively safe. For the most part you want to avoid downtown CBD, informal settlements. When visiting the CBD, I would visit with a local just to avoid any unwanted attention. Suburbs are absolutely safe.
