MCP Dev Summit Nairobi

About Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya

Nairobi is a city that defies expectations, offering a seamless blend of high-octane business energy and soul-stirring natural beauty. Often called the “Silicon Savannah,” it stands as East Africa’s premier tech and innovation hub with a thriving ecosystem of startups and global headquarters.

The true “Nairobi magic” lies in its dual identity: it is the only place on Earth where you can close a deal in a modern skyscraper in the morning and be eye-to-eye with a wild rhino or giraffe by the afternoon.

Between sessions explore vibrant artisan markets, enjoy a thriving “farm-to-table” culinary scene, or find a moment of quiet in the lush Karura Forest. Attending a conference in Nairobi isn’t just about the sessions, it’s about having an unforgettable experience.

Nairobi National Park

Known as the “World’s only Wildlife Capital,” this is the only place on earth where you can photograph a wild lion or rhino with a backdrop of city skyscrapers.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage

This is arguably the most heart-moving stop in the city. The trust is world-renowned for rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned baby elephants. Advance booking is essential as spots are limited.

The Maasai Market

A rotating open-air market that moves around the city on different days of the week, The Massai Markets are the ultimate place to buy authentic Kenyan souvenirs; from hand-beaded jewelry and wood carvings to traditional shukas (blankets.)
