Things to do in Nairobi for one day?

mathieu · April 2012

Hello - we will be stopping off in Nairobi for one day at the end of our holiday in Kenya, what suggestions does everyone have of things to do in Nairobi to fill one day. We are staying in the Serena Hotel near the city centre.

Hi, Nairobi gets a bad rep for tourist activities but in truth there is plenty to see and do in the city. Here are a few ideas on how to spend the day in Nairobi: http://www.wordtravels.com/Cities/Kenya/Nairobi/Attractions

Hi, The baby elephant orphanage and the giraffe feeding centre are great--both a little way outside city centre. (earlier poster included link to those.) I also enjoyed visiting the Kazuri Bead place. Kazuri was set up to provide jobs and health insurance for single mothers, and now exports brilliant jewelry around the world. Kazuri, Langata giraffe centre and Karen Blixen sights are all relatively close so would make a nice day out of town. A little less typical, but I also enjoyed a brief drive through the Kibera slum as a lifestyle contrast to the shady lanes of Karen and Langata. My friend Jacob is a Luo and a taxi driver and took me through the Luo section of Kibera, which he decided was safe enough for a white lady from NZ.

Apart from what has been mentioned above, you can also visit Oloolua nature trail, Bombas of Kenya, Lang'ata Botanical garden,Karura forest or take a hike up Nong Hills.

if you wish to experience a different life style you can as well do a slum adventure to one of the slums in Nairobi and you will be welcomed by smiles from the residents.i did so with kairi Tours and Safaris,the link is here http://www.kairitravels.com/index.php/slum-adventure.html

Nairobi is one of Africa's largest, and most interesting cities,this city never sleeps and is known as the safari capital of Africa, Nairobi is an energetic, modern city that serves as a fascinating introduction to both wildlife and nightlife,besides this the hotels, restaurants, nightlife here is just too good you must explore Nairobi's sunrise and sunset atleast...............
