Tour description
Nairobi is East Africa's most dynamic city, a green and energetic capital that grew from a railway depot into a modern metropolis in little more than a century. Beyond its reputation as a safari gateway lies a vibrant urban culture worth exploring. On this walking tour a local guide reveals the real city centre.
You will wander bustling markets, see colonial-era landmarks and modern towers side by side, and learn about Kenya's road to independence. Along the way you will experience the warmth, hustle and creativity of everyday Nairobi. Lively and welcoming, Nairobi is a fascinating city to explore on foot.
