Nairobi Backpackers / hostels

Country forums / Africa / Kenya

Seems lots has changed recently in Nairobi as some hostels that were recommended to me are not open or not to be found....?

Anybody got some up-to-date information on good backpacker accomodation in Nairobi? Preferably places to meet other people and to get some information on safari trips and onward travels.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Try Karens Camp in Karen Nairobi.

Upperhill campsite othaya road (used to be in upperhill) v friendly place can be a bit quiet at times but good place to meet people

I would try Wildebeest Camp. It is just off Ngong Road. Lovely gardens, clean rooms, nice staff, safe compound - what more could a girl on her own ask for. www.wildebeesttravels.com

I had heard that Nairobi Backpackers closed before Christmas last year and that Upperhill Campsite has moved from its Upperhill location.

Nairobi Backpackers closed before Christmas last year? I guess that's why I get no answer to my e-mails to them. There website is still up

You can also have a look at Bush House & Camp located in upperhill area of Nairobi.
Their website is: www.bush-house.com.
