Explore Nairobi’s wildlife, history, and culture in one day. Visit Nairobi National Park, Karen Blixen Museum, Kobe Beads Center, and Bomas of Kenya.
- Nairobi National Park - The tour begins with a hotel pickup, followed by a drive to Nairobi National Park. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately notice the park’s unique charm, set against the city’s skyline. Here, you can see lions, rhinos, buffaloes, hyenas, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, impalas, and more. Despite its proximity to downtown Nairobi, this is not a city zoo or theme park. Established in 1946, it is Kenya’s oldest and one of the smallest parks, yet sightings of lions and hyenas are common. The park is home to over 400 bird species, including the majestic ostrich. Known as Kifaru Ark, the park supports the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya and supplies them to other parks across the country as their numbers grow.
- KOBE TOUGH beads & leather - Located just 500 meters and about a 10-minute walk from Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages, Kobe Bead Factory is near the Karen Blixen Museum. Founded in 1975 by the late Lady Susan Wood, the factory provided employment for struggling single mothers in the community. Today, it remains in its original location in Karen and employs over 300 local women. Kobe Beads specializes in handmade ceramic beads, pottery, and genuine leather bags.
- Karen Blixen Museum - This museum was once the African home of Danish author Karen Blixen, known for her book “Out of Africa,” which details life on the estate. Located half a kilometer from Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages, the museum is open daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, including weekends and public holidays. Visitors can join guided tours featuring rooms decorated in the original style and props from the 1985 film. The grounds, which include original coffee farm equipment, are also open for tours. Lunch is at your own expense.
- Bomas of Kenya - The tour continues with a drive to Bomas of Kenya, a cultural center in Langata. Here, talented resident artists perform traditional dances and songs from various tribal groups, including Swahili Taarab music, Kalenjin warrior dances, Embu drumming, and Kikuyu circumcision ceremonies. While it is a tourist attraction, it offers a spectacular afternoon experience. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel around 5-6 PM.
