Solo-friendly things to do in Nairobi
Wanting to go out and having nobody free is one of the most common reasons plans don’t happen. The good news: plenty of things in Nairobi are easy to do on your own, and even easier with a small group of people who want to do the same thing.
Here are the kinds of plans that work best when you’re going solo, and how to find people to go with.
Pick something with a built-in focus
Activities where everyone is busy with their hands take the pressure off small talk. You’re there to make something, and conversation happens on its own.
Move together
Walks, hikes and group runs are some of the easiest plans to join alone. You can chat as much or as little as you like, and there’s usually coffee or food at the end.
Keep it low-key
A coffee, a book club or an afternoon at a museum is a calm way to meet new people, especially in the daytime and somewhere public.
Nights out, with a group
Live music, comedy or bowling are more fun with others. Going with a small group you’ve met through a plan means you’re never standing alone at the bar.
Going alone, safely
Start with daytime plans in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and leave whenever you want to.
