Nairobi | Where the Day Can Take You

🐘 Go on Safari at Nairobi National Park
Just a short drive from the city center, this is one of the only places in the world where you can spot lions, giraffes, and rhinos with a skyline in the background. Mornings are best for game drives—don’t forget your camera.

🏛️ Visit the Nairobi National Museum
A beautiful introduction to Kenya’s cultural, historical, and natural story. The exhibits are rich and varied—from ancient fossils to traditional art. A perfect slow morning for curious wanderers.

☕ Tour and taste at Fairview Coffee Estate
Escape to the quiet hills of Kiambu for a tour of this peaceful coffee plantation. Learn how beans go from branch to brew, then enjoy a tasting under the trees. It’s a calming, aromatic way to spend a half day.

🧵 Visit Kazuri Beads or Kobe Beads
These women-run cooperatives create intricate ceramic and glass bead jewelry. Walk through the workshop, meet the makers, and take home a handmade piece that carries a deeper story.

🏡 Walk through the Karen Blixen Museum Garden
Whether or not you’ve read Out of Africa, this historic homestead and its dreamy jacaranda-filled garden offer a peaceful step back in time. Bring a book or simply wander the shaded paths.
