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.

  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 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.
