Nairobi
City Tour |
Founded at
the turn of the century, Nairobi
has grown
from small railroad
town to a large cosmopolitan
city with a population
approaching two million. Much is
to be seen around the capital.
The Nairobi Museum has numerous
exhibits of the late Dr.
Leakey's great finds, a
collection of original artifacts
from Kenyan tribes and a superb
collection of mounted birds.
Adjacent to the Museum is the
Snake Park and the Aviary.
The Railway Museum is a must for
visitors interested in the
country's history as well as
National Assembly (Parliament),
Branch at the Jamia mosque and
also view the Macmillan Memorial
library. You could also visit
the view point at the Uhuru
Park.
To conclude the tour, you branch
at the Municipal City Market
where you can purchase a couple
of beautiful souvenirs. |

Nairobi National Park |
Nairobi, as
a capital city, is unique in
having a wildlife park on its
doorstep. It is possible
to
photograph a rhino, browsing
peacefully amongst the whistling
thorn with high rise buildings
in the background !
Some of the wildlife is
migratory and when there is
grazing and water outside the
park it moves out into
Maasai-Land through the unfenced
southern boundary. But there is
also a resident population of
plains game and carnivores so a
visit at any time of the year is
rewarding. |

The
Carnivore Experience |
Nairobi has
many restaurants offering a
variety of cuisines. We
recommend a dinner or
lunch
at the Carnivore restaurant
Carnivore is famous for its
succulent steaks and barbecued
dishes as an excellent
compliment to a holiday in
Kenya, especially as a welcome
or farewell dinner.
In the style of a Brazilian
churrasceria, 6 kms from the
city centre, the carnivore
restaurant is a popular spot for
meat lovers. Joints of lamb,
beef, pork and venison are
roasted on an open spit and
curved from spears at your
table. |

Kenya |
Typically,
this is a cultural tour that
exposes you to Kenya's 16 major
tribes i.e Kikuyu, Luo, Kamba,
etc. ’Bomas’ is linguistically
used to refer to villages and is
hence a Kiswahili word. It has
numerous homesteads reflecting
Kenya's cocktail of cultures.
Bomas of Kenya is a cultural
center a short drive from the
city centre where visitors can
watch displays of traditional
dancing by groups from the main
tribes of Kenya. |

Karen
Blixen |
The Karen
Blixen Museum was originally the
home of Karen Blixen, who came
to Kenya from Denmark in the
early part of the 19th century;
the present museum site is at
the heart of the larger coffee
plantation run by Blixen between
1914 and 1931. The house and
surrounding land was donated by
the Danish government to Kenya
at independence; the house was
restored by the Danish
government and was used during
the filming of Out of Africa,
which immortalized Karen
Blixen's book by the same name.
Much
of the original furniture is on
display in the house, and
combined with the beautifully
landscaped gardens and
encompassing view of the Ngong
Hills, the Museum has continued
to be very popular destination
for international and local
visitors.
The original kitchen has been
restored and is now open for
viewing. A Dove Stove similar to
the one used by Blixen is on
display, as are other period
kitchen utensils.
An afternoon orientation drive
that will take you through
Kenya's modern, high- capital to
the area of Karen Blixen's Farm
at the foot of the Ngong hills.
Visit the fascinating Museum
dedicated to the Author of "Out
of Africa." Have time to feed
the gentle Rothchild's Giraffe
at the Giraffe Centre.
Afterwards admire authentic
African Art and Craft at
Utamaduni and drive back to your
town Hotel. |
