What to see in Nairobi City?
There will be no time to be bored while you are in Nairobi City. With safaris in the national park and visits to Maasai settlements, travelers can have the best experience when in Kenya:
- Nairobi from above: Get the greatest 360-degree views of the city from the KICC building in the city center. The rooftop offers breathtaking views for kilometers in all directions, as well as a refreshing wind.
- Wildlife: Yes, did you know you don't need to leave Nairobi to witness wildlife? Explore Nairobi National Park, the world's only national park located within a metropolis. Going on a Kenyan safari does not need a long journey from the city.
- Rothschild’s giraffe: The near-threatened giraffe species are a must-see while visiting Nairobi. Almost tough to spot in the wild, the best way to observe them is to visit a conservation facility like the Giraffe facility.
- Traditional mud houses: Curious to see what houses looked like in Kenyan communities long before modernization? A visit to the Bomas of Kenya will satisfy your needs. Some communities still live in mud houses but don’t build them like they were done in ancient times.
- Rescue Elephants and Rhinos: Elephants and rhinos are known to be very dangerous animals in the wild. While in Nairobi, you may pet and adopt one of these rescued animals from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
- Giraffe Manor: The most popular hotel in Kenya. Known for its distinctive touch, the hotel allows you to feed Rothschild giraffes via the glass. This is a fancy hotel that does not allow day passes; you must stay there to enjoy it. If you have the budget, you may include it on your list of things to do in Nairobi.
- Vintage Trains: Train enthusiasts will like the railway museum in Nairobi. Visitors may visit the train yard, see the old trains, and learn about Kenyan railway history. Train 301, which appeared in the film "Out of Africa," is on display at the museum.
