One of the things I love about Nairobi is the endless options for quick weekend getaways. Here are a few of my top picks for escapes from the city!🍃 #nairobi #weekendtrip #thingstodoinnairobi #kenya

Trip or destination combinations can be as easy as looking at a map 🌏 and figuring out which countries border each other + how easy it is to move from one country to the other. And if you're Nigerian, there's also the visa element to consider. On this list, places like Kenya, Seychelles, Rwanda, and Uganda have fairly favourable visa and entry conditions, plus 3 of these countries have direct flights to Nigeria ✈️ This makes them good bases for a combo-trip. If you're not looking to go far, a great combination from Nigeria is the route from Nigeria 🇳🇬 to Ghana 🇬🇭 via Benin 🇧🇯 and Togo 🇹🇬 ___________________ PS: While trip combinations can be fun + could help save money/build your travel history, some destinations require more time to have a more enriching experience. So weigh your options and choose carefully 💙 Share your favourite combo destinations in the comment section! ⤵️

🧳✈️ What kind of traveller are you? My travel style is constantly evolving, but this is where I'm at right now! 🚦I'll take a lovely train ride 🚆 over a plane ride ✈️, even if the journey is longer.. I don't have plans to visit all countries in the world 🌎 - it would be pretty cool if that happened, but I'm happy to just return to places I love over and over again! 🥰 💸 These days, my travel style in terms of budget is a mixed bag. I appreciate more privacy and unique experiences, but I'm also down for a hostel stay if necessary. 🐌 Slow travel is my preference - as much as work and life permits, and I'll always try to choose an overnight trip over a day trip 😊

He's the best! 😅🥰

[Context] I am a Nigerian citizen and travel with a Nigerian passport. 🛂 The list is based on visas I've applied for in the last 5 years. 📚 This list does not include 🚫: - Visa-free destinations - Countries with visa-on-arrival policies - Visa exemptions as a result of having other active visas ✅️ My listing criteria are based on the overall ease of obtaining a tourist visa and the overall cost of doing so. 💸 On this list, Canada was my most expensive visa, but the visa process was easy, straightforward, and stress-free!

💡 Fun Fact: If you want to taste the BEST Kenyan tea, you’ll have to travel outside the country to do so! _________________________ Kenya is one of the world’s largest producers of tea, and a great way to spend a weekend in Nairobi is to take a day trip to visit one of its tea farms. 📍 Kiambethu Tea Farm, Limuru 🍵🍃 _________________________ #kiambethuteafarm #limuru #teatime #tealover #teafarm #green #nature #daytrip #nairobi #weekendtrip #thingstodoinnairobi #teatour #travel #uniqueexperience #visitkenya #travelinspiration #nigeriantraveller #travelwithapentokenya #travelwithapen

Day out in the city for a tour at Kiambethu Tea Farm 🍃 This place has been on my Kenya wish list for a while and I'm glad we were finally able to tick it off - practically had to strong-arm Mark to drive us there, but you know, these photos won't take themselves! The farm is only about 40 minutes away from the city centre, and the tour is well organized. You learn so much about how tea gets from farm to store (I'll write more about this on travelwithapen.com and my broader thoughts about this experience)... Overall, not a bad way to spend a free day in the city.
