2. Take the road to Namanga if you don't want to venture too far from Nairobi. Traveling through Kajiado County on Namanga road makes up most of the journey. But you can liven it up by making a detour to Lake Magadi, Kenya's "pink lake."

3. The frequent road trip between Nairobi and Lake Naivasha. From here, you can see the vast network of ridges or escarpments that creates one of Kenya's most breathtaking sights, the valley floor divided by a number of lakes and volcanoes, and Hells Gate National park.

4. Aberdare National Park, with its sheer beauty that encompasses the park, With its 273-meter-high Karuru Falls, Kenya's tallest and highest waterfall, is home to lush rainforests, unusual flora, and breathtaking waterfalls.

5. Visit Kisumu. Despite taking six hours to travel the 400 km from Nairobi to the lakeside city of Kisumu, the trip is enjoyable. In addition to providing scenic views of the Great Rift Valley, the route allows travelers to stop in major towns like Nakuru and Kericho.

6. Take a fun road trip from Nairobi to Emali, the lush landscape of Shimba Hills, and the wonderful Tsavo National Park, and explore Lakes Jipe and Chala. However, during the rainy season, the roads can be treacherous, so be prepared with a tow rope.

7. Hit the Nairobi to Mombasa Highway for an epic bush-to-beach road trip. Traffic is not heavy on the route and takes 5–6 hours with scenic views & beautiful landscapes. As you approach Mombasa, decide between the south, Diani, and Galu, or north for Kilifi, Watamu, or Malindi.

8. Epic Mt. Kenya trip from Nairobi to Nyeri to Nanyuki to Timau to Isiolo with many attractions such as the Lewa or Borana Wildlife Conservancy and ending up at the gorgeous Meru, where you can spot the big 5 and enjoy a relaxing safari and explore the lovely Ngare Ndare forest.

9. Marvel at the breathtaking views of Kerio Valley. The Great Rift Valley region's scene is a must-drive experience, with its steep, winding roads. With very few potholes, the roads are generally in good condition. However, because they are also narrow, drive with caution.

10. A combination of excursions near Nairobi, such as those to the Swara Plains (near the Lukenya Hills), The Forest (ziplining in the Kereita Forest), Kiambethu Tea Farm (a serene haven of green tea and leisurely walks), Ngong Hills, Sagana River Rafting, or Kitengela Hot Glass.
