Training venue

Getting there
No direct flights were confirmed from Canada to Nairobi; typical itineraries from Toronto use connecting service via European hubs such as Amsterdam or Brussels, with Air Canada, KLM, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, and United appearing among the carriers shown for Toronto–Nairobi search results. Approximate total travel time is about 18–22 hours, and the arrival airport is Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO).
Visa
Canadian passport holders need Kenya’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before departure for a professional training trip; Kenya’s official eTA site says all visitors, including business travelers, must have an approved eTA, and business/conference travel requires an invitation or participation letter. The official Kenya eTA page says the authorization is valid for up to 90 days; the Canada government travel advisory also states you must obtain the eTA online prior to departure.
Safety
Central business districts and major training venues are generally busy and secure, but delegates should use registered taxis or app-based rides at night, keep valuables discreet, and follow local advice on areas to avoid after dark.
