13Tips for road-trip stays in Nairobi
Check the parking facility's security features, such as gated access, CCTV, or patrolling guards, especially if you're travelling with a vehicle full of gear.
If you're arriving during peak hours, ask about parking availability and whether spaces can be reserved in advance to avoid circling the lot.
For road trips, consider a hotel with easy access to major roads and highways to minimize city driving stress and save time.
Keep valuables out of sight in your car and use a secure parking area; even in free lots, it's wise to take basic precautions.
