Høydepunkter
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.

Rute
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.
A deliberately fortified 1970s structure that declared, in concrete, that Kenya now controlled its own money and monetary sovereignty.
The functional heart of independent Kenya — a corridor of government buildings where the new nation chose pragmatism over grandeur when it designed itself.
The Central Bank of Kenya Headquarters on Haile Selassie Avenue is a modernist skyscraper that stands as a symbol of Kenya’s financial authority. Its bold, functional design reflects stability and trust, while the newer CBK Pension Towers nearby showcase Nairobi’s contemporary architectural growth.
Harambee House, built in 1961, is one of Nairobi’s most iconic government buildings. Located on Harambee Avenue, it houses the Office of the President and symbolizes Kenya’s political leadership and independence.
Sheria House, located on Harambee Avenue, is the headquarters of Kenya’s Attorney General and State Law Office. Its solid design reflects authority and permanence, making it a symbol of Kenya’s legal system and governance.
Bunge Tower is a 28‑storey landmark across Nairobi’s Parliament Buildings, opened in 2024 to house offices and committee rooms for MPs and Senators. Its design, inspired by the Parliament’s shield emblem, symbolizes unity and resilience while providing modern facilities for Kenya’s legislative work.

About Nairobi
Nairobi er Kenyas energiske hovedstad og utgangspunktet for safari i Øst-Afrika, med en nasjonalpark der ville dyr streifer under byens silhuett.
Nairobi nasjonalpark ligger like utenfor forstedene, og løvene, neshornene, sjiraffene og bøflene kan ses med skyskrapere i horisonten. Like ved oppdrar et barnehjem unge elefanter reddet fra hele Kenya, og Giraffe Centre lar besøkende møte sjeldne Rothschild-sjiraffer øye i øye fra en hevet plattform.
Top-ranked sights in Nairobi: Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Lake Naivasha.
