Time Magazine just released its prestigious World’s Greatest Places of 2022 list, and Nairobi has made the cut.
To compile the list of the World’s Greatest Places, Time solicited nominations of places from their international network of correspondents and contributors, with a special eye toward those places offering new and exciting experiences.
Nairobi is one of 50 places on the list for its “cultural metropolis,” with Time calling it “the safari capital of the world.”
Time notes Nairobi’s many exciting experiences, such as The Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute (NCAI), Eden Nairobi, and Kwetu Nairobi, Curio Collection by Hilton as reasons for its pick.
The magazine also highlights the brand-new Nairobi Expressway: the $650 million project that provides a long overdue reprieve from congestion in the centre of the city, so residents and visitors can access it more easily and quickly than ever before.
