Destacados

Most Nairobi tours show you the city. This one asks who built it, for whom, and who was left out. Led by a Kenyan urban designer, this walk through the CBD reads Nairobi's buildings as political document. Tracing colonial planning, postcolonial ambition, and the informal genius that shaped Africa's most dynamic capital.

  1. The Kenyatta International Conference Center is Nairobi’s architectural icon, built in the 1970s to symbolize Kenya’s independence and progress. Its cylindrical tower and dome-shaped hall reflect African traditions blended with modernist design. From the rooftop helipad, visitors enjoy sweeping views of the city and beyond. Please carry you identification document with you.

About Nairobi

Nairobi, enérgica capital de Kenia y punto de partida de los safaris de África Oriental, con fauna salvaje a la vista de los rascacielos.

El Parque Nacional de Nairobi se encuentra justo más allá de los suburbios, y sus leones, rinocerontes, jirafas y búfalos pueden verse con los rascacielos en el horizonte. Cerca, un orfanato cría elefantes jóvenes rescatados de toda Kenia, y el Giraffe Centre permite encontrarse cara a cara con las raras jirafas de Rothschild desde una plataforma elevada.

Top-ranked sights in Nairobi: Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Lake Naivasha.
