Descripción del tour
Nairobi's food is regional Kenyan food that moved to the city - Luo fish from Lake Victoria, Kikuyu githeri, coastal Swahili spices, and nyama choma, the slow charcoal-roasted goat that is the national way of spending an afternoon.
We start at City Market, a 1930s hall in the CBD, where your guide walks you through the produce, the spices and the fish, then move to a choma joint where you select your meat by weight at the counter, it goes on the charcoal, and forty minutes later it comes back on a wooden board, chopped, with kachumbari and a mound of ugali.
We also eat whole fried tilapia with ugali and greens at a Luo restaurant that has been a Nairobi institution for decades, mutura - the Kenyan blood sausage grilled on the street - and sukuma wiki, the collard greens whose name means stretch the week.
We finish with Kenyan coffee, which is among the best in the world and almost all of which is exported, plus a dawa, the honey, lime and ginger drink whose name means medicine.
Small group, maximum 8 guests, with vetted private transport between neighbourhoods included.

Otras notas
Runs daily at 11:00.
Safety, stated plainly: the Nairobi CBD is fine in daylight with a guide and we do not run there after dark. We use vetted private transport door to door rather than walking between neighbourhoods, we cap the group at eight, and your guide will ask you to keep phones away in the market. We do not offer informal walking tours of Kibera, Mathare or any other informal settlement, because we do not think they can be done respectfully as a walking product.
Demonstrations occur in Nairobi at short notice and are occasionally disrupted by police action. We monitor daily and will cancel and refund rather than run.
Drink safety: your guide orders and watches all drinks. Drink spiking and counterfeit spirits are both documented problems in Kenyan nightlife, which is one reason this is a daytime tour.
Water and hygiene: bottled water only. Nyama choma is cooked to order and low risk; raw kachumbari, salads and ice are the hazards and we manage them.
Payment: M-Pesa is universal in Kenya and your guide uses it; you do not need cash.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. A vegetarian route through githeri, sukuma wiki, chapati and beans is genuinely good.
About 1 km of walking in total, plus transport between stops.
