Höjdpunkter

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 är Kenyas energiska huvudstad och startpunkten för safari i Östafrika, med en nationalpark där vilda djur strövar under stadens silhuett.

Nairobi nationalpark ligger strax bortom förorterna, och dess lejon, noshörningar, giraffer och bufflar kan ses med skyskrapor vid horisonten. Där intill föder ett barnhem upp unga elefanter som räddats från hela Kenya, och Giraffe Centre låter besökare möta sällsynta Rothschildgiraffer ansikte mot ansikte från en upphöjd plattform.

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