PRIVATE CHARTER FROM

→ ABUJA TO NAIROBI

Arrive in Nairobi with FlyBird

Nairobi is Kenya’s capital and one of East Africa’s key business centres. There’s a growing tech scene that’s emerging alongside government, finance, and regional trade. Nairobi is also unusual in that Nairobi National Park sits right on the edge of the city, where wildlife can be seen against a backdrop of office towers. There is an expanse of green space, along with galleries, markets, and places such as the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Nairobi brings together people from across Kenya and beyond. Cafés, restaurants and rooftop bars in Westlands, Kilimani and Parklands offer international dining and nightlife, while the central business district along Kenyatta Avenue is home to corporate offices, banks and conference venues. Nairobi’s streets are full of colour and movement, from the elaborately painted matatus — the city’s privately run minibuses — to busy food markets, making it a place that stays active well beyond the working day.

Whether for business or leisure, Nairobi is unmistakably unique — and with our experienced team at FlyBird coordinating private jet flights from Abuja at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, you can focus on experiencing Nairobi first hand from the moment you land.

Experience Nairobi

A few of the city’s highlights to explore after your Abuja to Nairobi private jet flight:

01

For business

Nairobi’s Central Business District is where the city’s commercial activity is most evident. Kenyatta Avenue is lined with corporate offices, financial firms, and regional headquarters, all blending sleek modern high‑rises with classic heritage buildings. The iconic Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) anchors the district, hosting conferences, international summits, and major business events.

Getting from the airport to meetings is straightforward. You can expect a 30–40 minute drive depending on traffic, with executive transfers or chauffeur services making it a seamless journey from runway to boardroom.

Beyond the CBD, areas like Upper Hill and Westlands have evolved into vibrant business hubs, with corporate campuses, co‑working spaces, and multinational offices. Many business travellers choose these districts as a base, offering a slightly slower pace while staying connected to Nairobi’s commercial pulse.

For a comfortable stay, hotels such as Villa Rosa Kempinski, JW Marriott Nairobi, and Nairobi Serena provide executive services, meeting rooms, and prime access to the city’s corporate districts.


02

For leisure

What sets Nairobi apart is its remarkable proximity to wildlife and nature. Nairobi National Park, just south of the city, offers a safari against the backdrop of skyscrapers. You can also experience even closer encounters with wildlife at the Giraffe Centre and David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, while Karura and Ngong Forests offer trails, waterfalls, and birdwatching just minutes from the city.

Nairobi also has a strong cultural identity, expressed through art, museums, markets, and food. The Nairobi National Museum, galleries, and creative spaces showcase Kenyan art and history, while local markets highlight traditional crafts. Food lovers can experience everything from classic nyama choma to inventive modern cuisine at Beit é Selam, Nairobi Street Kitchen, and K’Osewe Ranalo Foods. For evening drinks or city views, Westlands and Kilimani offer rooftop bars, intimate cafés, and lively lounges.


03

For any time

Whether you’re browsing the Maasai Market for handcrafted jewellery and textiles or spending time at Sarit, Yaya, or Village Market, shopping in Nairobi is best enjoyed during the day, with cafés and open-air spaces offering moments to pause between meetings or sightseeing.

As evening approaches, neighbourhoods like Westlands, Kilimani, and Parklands take on a different pace. Bars, lounges, and music venues open their doors, ranging from intimate acoustic sets to late-night DJ sessions. Events such as the Nairobi Film Festival and Koroga Music Festival add to the city’s cultural calendar, offering a sense of Nairobi’s creative life throughout the year.
