A short self-guided forest hike followed by an up-close encounter with tame giraffes make this a pleasant excursion to the south of central Nairobi.

Noble black rhinos are the highlight of this amazing park, Kenya’s first national park and a local treasure.

Tribal cultural artifacts, Kenyan history and nature exhibits coexist in this national museum, called by some the “birthplace of humanity.”

Each boma (homestead) in this cultural village was built using traditional specifications of myriad Kenyan tribes; through architecture, crafts, music and dance this village serves to preserve Kenyan culture.

This craft market, nearly destroyed by civil unrest in 1998, is across from the large City Market.

This centrally located collection contains historic photographs, Kenyan crafts and paintings.
