Day by Day
Top Nairobi attractions & excursions
Nairobi National Park game drive
One of the world’s only wildlife parks within a capital city. Morning tours depart around 7:00am (back by about 1:00pm) and afternoon tours at 1:00pm (back by about 6:00pm), with the Nairobi skyline as a striking backdrop to lions, giraffes, buffalo, rhino and plains game.
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
A world-renowned elephant orphanage open to visitors from 11:00am to 12:00pm, where you watch orphaned baby elephants feed and play in the mud and hear each one’s rescue story — a moving conservation experience.
Giraffe Centre, Lang’ata
Dedicated to conserving the endangered Rothschild giraffe. Hand-feed these gentle giants from a raised platform, capture great photos and learn about giraffe conservation efforts.
Karen Blixen Museum
The former home of Out of Africa author Karen Blixen, set at the foot of the Ngong Hills — a graceful colonial-era house and gardens telling the story of Kenya’s coffee-farming past.
Bomas of Kenya
Just 10 km from the city centre, Bomas of Kenya showcases the country’s diverse cultures through traditional music, dance and homesteads — a colourful, authentic cultural experience.
