ITINERARY
Begin your adventure at the Kenya International Conference Centre (KICC), one of Nairobi’s most iconic landmarks. Take the elevator to the helipad rooftop for a breathtaking 360° view of the city — from modern skyscrapers to the distant Ngong Hills. It’s the perfect place to get oriented and capture some of the best photos of Nairobi.
Enjoy a guided walking tour through the streets of downtown Nairobi. Your guide will share insights into the city’s history, architecture, and local life as you pass important buildings such as the Parliament, City Hall, Kenya National Archives, and Tom Mboya Statue. You’ll witness the everyday rhythm of the city — from street vendors and matatus to Nairobi’s lively energy.
Next, visit Kariokor Market, a colorful local market famous for its handmade Maasai sandals, beadwork, baskets, and crafts. Here you’ll interact with artisans and traders while learning about Kenya’s rich craftsmanship culture. It’s a great spot for buying unique souvenirs directly from the makers.
After a busy morning, enjoy a delicious Kenyan lunch at a local restaurant where you’ll get to taste traditional dishes such as ugali, sukuma wiki, chapati, beans, and nyama choma (roasted meat). This stop is not just a meal — it’s a cultural experience that connects you to Kenya’s culinary traditions.
Continue your city experience at the Maasai Market, where local artisans sell handmade jewelry, clothing, paintings, and carvings. It’s the perfect place to shop for colorful keepsakes and gifts while supporting local communities. Your guide will help you bargain fairly and confidently
End your city adventure at the City Market, one of Nairobi’s oldest trading hubs. This indoor market offers a mix of fresh flowers, fruits, curios, and African art. It’s a lively and authentic way to feel the pulse of Nairobi before concluding your tour.
