I will share full details about my trip to Nairobi Kenya
in my blog post, coming soon. But if you’re planning right this minute, these tips should help get you started!
📍Primary languages spoken: Swahili, English
Things to do & places to visit
📍 National Museum of Nairobi - This place is a must if you visit Nairobi. Open Monday through Sunday 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM all year round $3.20 USD. Pay a little extra and include entry to the snake park.
📍 Massai Market. No trip to Nairobi is complete without a visit to the Massai Market a roving flea market. IMHO the best days are Thursday and Friday when the market is at Junction mall, and then Village market, Buy gorgeous brass jewelry, textiles, woodwork, and carving, and art. Get it all in one place for really great prices. Have local currency, and your currency converter on the ready to negotiate the best deal!
📍 The Giraffe Center. Visit the giraffe center and feed giraffes. Pro tip: go in the morning when the center opens at 10 AM and avoid the crowds.
📍 David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Visit the orphanage that rescues and protects, baby elephants, abandoned by their mother, due to drought and or poaching.
Things to know
📌 Save 💰 and do The Giraffe Center versus the Giraffe manor. Both properties share the same giraffes
📌Get cash at ATM machines inside the shopping malls.
📌Be very careful if you are staying in the central business district (CBD) it is known for muggings and purse and iPhone snatching.
📌Uber works very well there but drivers expect to be paid cash so have KES (Kenyan shillings) on hand
📌Expect to see security check points at shopping malls and public places. Nairobi has been the target of multiple terror attacks so security is high.
