This looks like a Sarus Crane. It doesn't have the
white nape of a White-naped Crane. Both Sarus and
White-naped Cranes are Asian birds. It is surpising
that the photo was from Nairobi.

The sarus crane (Grus antigone) is a large non-migratory crane found in parts of the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia. The tallest of the flying birds, the sarus crane is easily distinguished from other cranes in the region by the overall grey colour and the contrasting red head and upper neck.
