Nairobi

Our newest bureau, opened in 2023 to cover East Africa and support World desk reporting across the wider region. Read the full backstory on our About page.

Smallest bureau by headcount today, but the fastest-growing — a second correspondent joins next quarter, and it’s the first bureau outside London or Washington to get its own dedicated photo desk.

Bureau staff also contribute occasional pieces to Culture when a story doesn’t fit neatly into straight news.
