All Kenya Things to do

Our Local Experts say:

Nairobi is such a great city, we're sure you're going to love it. There are so many things to do in and around the city it's hard to know where to begin. If you're staying on the Karen side of town, there are several animal related activities.

Try petting a baby elephant (you can even adopt one). Perhaps you'd like to feed a giraffe or see crocodiles being fed instead. Art buffs will love a trip to the Kitegela Hot Glass Centre, the Museum or one of the art galleries around the city. Alternatively there are plenty of retail therapy outlets, paintballing, go-karting - oh - or even sky diving!
