Nairobi Highlights
Nairobi is adjacent to the eastern edge of the Rift Valley with the Ngong Hills in the west as the most prominent feature of the Nairobi area. Mount Kilimanjaro is situated towards the south-east and Mount Kenya in the north both visible from Nairobi on a clear day. Although not a prime tourist destination, Nairobi does have several tourist attractions.
The Karen Blixen Museum situated in the suburb of Karen provides guided tours around M'Bogani House, the main building of 'The Out of Africa' writer's coffee farm. Bomas of Kenya is a tourist village in Nairobi's suburb of Langata. These homesteads display traditional villages belonging to several Kenyan tribes. The complex also contains the biggest theatre in Africa with 3,500 seats.
Nairobi Activites and Game Viewing
The most famous tourist attraction is the Nairobi National Park. It is the only game reserve of this nature to border a capital city. The park is home to lion, giraffe and over 400 species of bird. Nairobi is also home to several museums. A large collection of artefacts including the full remains of a homo erectus boy can be found at the National Museum of Kenya.
Traditional dances from a variety of tribes are performed here every day. Other attractions of note include Jomo Kenyatta's mausoleum, Kenya National Theatre, the Kenya National Archives, Rahimtulla Museum of Modern Art and the Mzizi Arts Centre. The Giraffe Centre located in Langata, approximately 5km from Nairobi city centre is popular for the endangered Rothschild giraffe. The main attraction for visitors is feeding the giraffes from a raised observation platform. The Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage is easy accessible from the Giraffe Centre. The park is too small to sustain any adult elephants, but they take in orphaned elephants from all over Kenya. They also take rhinos, so if you are lucky you will get the chance to see a young rhino.
