Top Taxi Destinations in Nairobi

According to the Business Daily, Eastleigh and Upper Hill are the leading areas that record the highest number of digital cab requests in Nairobi, underlining their status as key business hubs in the city.

An analysis of demand for taxi-hailing services by Bolt also showed other areas such as Westlands and the Nairobi central business district in the top of the list.

Westlands boasts dozens of restaurants and global hotels such as Villa Rosa Kempinski and Movenpick. It also has a busy nightclub scene, which means that the area will invariably see high cab requests, given that revellers and hotel guests are among the most common users of the service.
