Day 01
Nairobi National Museum Visit from Nairobi or the Airport
- The tour starts with pickup from your Nairobi hotel or the airport. It then proceeds to the Nairobi National Museum, the most popular gallery in the country. Situated on Museum Hill, about five minutes by road from the city centre, it is an easy visit for travellers landing in Nairobi en route to other towns in the country.
- This tour can also conclude your safari in Kenya by allowing you to learn about the country in one venue. Whenever you visit, the gallery's many features and attractions are sure to be a holiday highlight. The collections focus on four themes: culture, nature, history, and contemporary art. You will have four sections to explore, each packed with exciting pieces and informative displays. The nature section offers a collection of birds and animals found in Kenya.
- One section features large stuffed mammals, such as an elephant and a giraffe. In the history section, you take a trip back to prehistoric times. Archaeological finds by Louis Leakey include fossils of man and other creatures that explain Kenya as the Cradle of Mankind. These exhibits come from different parts of the country, including Magadi and Turkana. This section is known as the Early Man gallery.
- You will have an amazing time learning about the culture and people of this country through collections from different communities. The auditorium, which can accommodate 300 people, hosts various concerts and shows, and you might have the opportunity to socialize with other enthusiasts. The Nairobi National Museum also features a curio shop with artifacts and items that make excellent souvenirs. Families with children will enjoy the experience, and when everyone gets tired and hungry, the on-site café offers great treats for the whole family. The Nairobi National Museum is open daily.
- After a day in the city's heat, head back to the airport to catch your flight home.
