Experience Nairobi
The city of Nairobi boasts of its exciting tourist attractions and the experiences it has to offer. It also hosts major annual events that brings a vibrant side of the inhabitants. Mentioned below is a list of things to do and see on the Nairobi vacation package.
Nairobi National Museum
Situated 10 minutes away from the city centre, the Nairobi National Museum was built in the 20th century and was expanded in the 21st century. Stories of East Africa and Kenyan history are displayed in the museum. It also houses archaeological findings, artefacts and a vast collection of native bird species named the ‘Birds of East Africa’. Visiting this museum in Nairobi, Kenya on vacation packages is a must for travellers who are fond of art, as it also has an art gallery and botanical garden. The museum acts as a one-stop for visitors who want to soak in Kenya’s rich culture, either for leisure or educational purposes.
Nairobi National Park
Even though it is one of the country’s smallest parks it still has an abundance of wildlife. There are plenty of things to do while you are in this park. Apart from taking the Nairobi safari tour package, you can also go for a picnic with friends or family as the park has many designated picnic spots. These designated picnic spots and the savannah juxtaposed with the city skyline are a sight to behold. If you like bird watching, then Nairobi National Park is an ideal place for you as you can witness more than 400 species of birds. If you head out to the park early morning, then you might be able to spot more than 100 species of mammals.
Karura Forest
The Karura Forest is an urban forest in the north of the city. The majestic waterfalls and bamboo forests make this place an ideal destination to include in your Nairobi packages. Those looking to spend some time in solitude can come here as it is one of the best forest parks to walk, run, ride or go for a picnic because it is relatively close to the city. It is safe, well-marked and a very nice place to relax and enjoy nature. Hiking and cycling are a few activities in this forest you can get indulged in.
The Maasai Market
This market serves as a hub for regional tourism and has a variety of African artefacts.
The market attracts business activities of all kinds but it is centred around cultural artefacts. On your Nairobi tour package, we suggest that you visit this market if you want to take something as a souvenir. Jewellery, Shukas (blankets) and Kiondos a type of woven carry bag are a few things you can purchase here. However, do not limit yourself and purchase things that you think are relevant to your needs.
Oloolua Nature Trail
This nature trail offers an escape from a busy city life. The trail is also very close to Nairobi National Park and it would be convenient if you could combine it with other attractions. Oloolua nature trail is very similar to Karura forest as this too has waterfalls, caves and bamboo forest.
Best Time to Visit Nairobi
Since the climate of Nairobi is moderate throughout the year you can visit Nairobi all year round. However, the best time to visit Nairobi depends on the places you wish to see and the activities you want to take part in. Generally, the best time to visit would be during the dry months i.e. from July to October. It rains very little during the dry season so you can explore the city at its best while taking part in outdoor activities.
