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 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.
Posted: December 31, 2025Nairobi is a beautiful and a safe place to travel to, as long one mind there own business no one will disturb them but also be cautious at night especially if it's late ,don't know the way and alone .
Posted: November 5, 2025Nairobi is overly safe,avoid the cbd during the night. Upscale Nairobi area is pretty safe too. If you are new to the area and would like to visit the cbd,kindly have a friend or be vigilant to avoid feeling and being unsafe.
Posted: October 28, 2025Nairobi is safe as long as you’re being careful of course Don’t walk alone at night, take cabs when in unfamiliar places. Oh and keep your phone close even when driving/in a cab/bus Other than that, chill place

Nairobi cbd isn't the best place for a woman but other regions of Nairobi are very safe,i particularly live in a very safe neighbourhood and I like it here I would very much like showing it to anyone new in Nairobi
