Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Start dagen med et besøg på Nairobi National Museum, som ligger på Museum Hill, en kort afstand fra byens centrum. Museet tilbyder en unik udstilling af Kenyas rige arv, både kulturel og naturlig. Marvel på Ahmed, den massive elefant, der blev et symbol på Kenya på højdepunktet af 1980'ernes jagtkrise vises her. Han blev placeret under 24-timers vagt af præsident Jomo Kenyatta. Udforsk museets permanente samling, gennem hallen i Kenya, nogle etnologiske udstillinger som den ekstraordinære Kalenjin kappe lavet af skind af Sykes Monkeys og en mosaik kort over Kenya lavet af landets sommerfugle. Næste hall er fuglene i Østafrika udstilling, et stort galleri af mindst 900 fyldt eksemplarer. Så følger den store sal af pattedyr. Menneskehedens vugge, hvis højdepunkt er Hominid Skull Room – en ekstraordinær samling af skaller, der beskriver sig selv som “den eneste vigtigste samling af tidlige menneskelige fossiler i verden”.
Det bliver vores næste stop. Den ikoniske 28-etagers bygning ligger langs Harambee Avenue i Nairobi City Square. Skyskraberens tag giver en 360 graders malerisk panoramaudsigt over byens centrum og dets horisonter. Først da kan man sætte pris på den skønhed og det komplekse mønster, det udgør. Vi vil derefter fortsætte til Nairobi viewpoint på rekreative grunde af en almindelig kenyansk, Uhuru Park, som vi lærer mere om dens historiske betydning for den kenyanske nation-stat. Kronologisk vil finde vores vej ind i Central Business District. Mens vi går, vil vi dele historier fortalt i realtid af din guide om historien om før uafhængighed Nairobi og post-uafhængighed Nairobi. Vi vil gå gennem byen og besøge forskellige vartegn, herunder KICC, Kipande hus, blandt andre.
Dette er et keramikfirma, der laver en af verdens smukkeste perler. Du vil blive vist førstehånds alle trin fra start til slut. Det er også en unik fabrik, da det beskæftiger enlige forældre fra det fattige kvarter, der tjener sig til at leve for at understøtte deres familier. Det er en kvinders empowerment center for samfundet. Centret blev startet af kvinder, der tidligere arbejdede for Kazuri perle fabrikken, da det lukkede ned under pandemien. Dette var en suspension for dem, da de kunne fortsætte med at forsørge deres familier.
Den bedste afrikanske håndværk butik i Nairobi, Utamaduni er et must at falde ind på vej til nogle af de spændende steder i Nairobi grønne forstad Karen / Langata, kendt for den berømte forfatter, Karen Blixen's oprindelige gård med smuk udsigt over Ngong bakker. Indarbejde et besøg i dette unikke hus af håndværk på dagen for dit besøg Nairobi. Butikken, et ombygget Kikuyu hus med 18 butikker, er en skattrone af afrikansk håndværk, antikviteter og kunst, med venligt personale til at hjælpe og hjælpe pakke eller skib om nødvendigt. Efter shopping stoppe og have forfriskninger i den store smukke have restaurant, og hvis du er en fugl observatør de mange eksotiske fugle vil holde dig underholdt. Sørg for at gøre utamaduni til en del af din ferie i Kenya.
Efter frokost (frivilligt) vil vi fortsætte med at opleve Kenyas rige kulturarv. På denne lokale originale kenyanske atmosfære nyde den rige kultur fra de 53 etniske samfund i Kenya gennem traditionelle folklore danser. Gennem kulturelle danser bevarer, opretholder og fremmer vi de rige, mangfoldige kulturelle værdier i alle etniske samfund. Daglige forestillinger omfatter et udvalg af traditionelle danser af de forskellige etniske grupper i Kenya, og en af de mest imponerende forestillinger er Samburu og Masai krigere.

This experience was incredible! My friend and I learned so much about the history and culture of the different Kenyan cultures. Our guides Denish and Purity did an awesome job sharing their love and passion for Nairobi and Kenya. If you’re looking for an immersive experience in Nairobi, this is it!
My wife and I took this tour in June 2026. Our tour guide was Dennis, and Dennis was awesome. He made sure that we had a great experience. All parts of the tour were entertaining and informative, but the Masai dancers were the best part of the whole day. They had a joyful way about them that summed up everything about the day, from the fight for independence, to the struggles of a young nation, to the hopes for Kenya's future. It was beautiful in a way that is difficult to put into words. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, and I would be sure to request Dennis as your tour guide. .
Almost nothing went right the entire day. Communication with this tour company is non existant, you will need to contact them to confirm details, they didn't reach out to us. Our suggestion would be to bother with any sort of contact or communication with this company, book with another tour company. Guide was 35 minutes early so we were rushed right from the start. Everything on this tour except lunch is included. Guide had problems paying for the Museum tickets and asked us to pay, it is included in the tour price so we declined to pay a second time which lead to a lengthy delay getting into the museum. Museum is very interesting. There was some kind of conference going on in or near the KICC building, so after trolling the parking lot(s) for 20 to 30 minutes we instructed the guide to stop looking for parking and just leave. Tour company is not responsible for the conference going on or the lack of parking however they should have known about it and refunded us that part of the cost or at the very least made alternate arrangements in advance so as to not sit in traffic to ultimately sit in the car in the parking lot. Next stop was lunch which was a good thing seeing as we were picked up early and did not have time to have breakfast. Lunch was very good, of course it is optional so you choose what you want and you pay for it. the restaraunt was very pleasant. Kobe Tough Beads is interesting and a popular tour stop judging by the number of tour company vehicles. The final stop is for a dancing presentation. This is very entertaining. Finally our tour was over and we heaeded back to our hotel in gridlock Nairobi traffic, impossible to get anywhere in a respectable amount of time. Started to rain, traffic slowed to a standstill even more often than usual. Got to the hotel in the rain and rather than drop us off under the carport awning our guide dropped us off in the pouring rain, thank you very much. This was our last day in Kenya and we feel like this tour was an entire day wasted. Up until this tour everything we had done in Kenya was wonderful, this is one of the worst if not the very worst tour we have ever done. We payed a lot of money for next to nothing in return. Left us wondering what we paid for. Our money should be refunded except for the museum entrance fee. Guide was sure to ask us to leave a review. Terrible and expensive and terrible. You may as well toss your money into the street, you won't get anything for it but you also won't feel insulted or sit in traffic for 3 - 4 hours.
Dear Michael, Thank you for your review. First of all communication was very clear from the operator. Secondly we arrive early for our pick ups and that doesn't mean you leave you can wait untill the time stipulated for pick up time. There's nothing wrong with early pick up!! From what you have written the tour went as clearly prescribed. Nothing is expensive here. Note the museum currently entry fee to double which we never charged you. We Catered for those costs ourselves. On the other hand, we don't dictate traffic on the roads! It leaves us to wonder what does traffic have to do with anything? You did not pay any entry fees for the museum nor kicc nor the cultural dances!!! Therefore it leaves us to wonder what your intentions are , other than been malicious and untrue in your review. We have excuted this tour for many years , its a proper balanced tour and nothing is wrong with the tour. You have your own personal issues which have nothing to do with the tour. On the issues of conferences at KICC its a government building and sometimes its blocked from the public for security reasons which has nothing to do with us. We trully apologise for the inconvenience this caused but its ultimately out of our control. Your review clearly lists all locations as clearly prescribed. Which you enjoyed . We don't control traffic and like any major city, traffic will be there and clearly there's nothing wrong with guide arriving early. You don't have to leave just wait till your depature time to leave for your tour. All the same the tour was delivered as clearly prescribed and we wish you well. Alot is to be desired in your review and it leaves us wondering what your true intentions are cause we don't control traffic in the city, neither do we cause traffic jams!! Upon further clarity from our guide hea arrived on time and you were outside smoking which was the same everywhere he had to wait for several minutes and he was very patient. He was patient with you!! At the same pick was clearly 0830hrs and thats the time you wanted to go take breakfast!! Yet you claim pick up was early. Sorry to say , but you are not sincere in your review! All entry fees were paid for as clearly stipulated. Thank you for your words and all the best! Thank you!
I enjoyed the tour very much. The activities were fun and we learned so much about Nairobi and African culture. I definitely recommend the August 7 Memorial Park too. Our driver Denish was very accompanying even when we ran long. I definitely recommend.
Denish was great, we never felt rush thru any of the activities. He had good knowledge about Nairobi. We would do the experience again.
Denis was a great guide! We booked this for our first day in town and it gave a great overview of the city and history. Highly enjoyed.
We booked the tour before arriving in Kenyan, and it was highly recommended by others who had been to Nairobi. Upon arrival, we learned that the "Boma" site run by the government has been closed a few months earlier. Instead many of the dancers had set up temporary sites across Nairobi. We tried to cancel but were told alternate arrangements were made, and the trip would go ahead. It was within 24 hours of the tour, so no refund would be provided. The driver, somewhat surly, took us to a tourist stop with a souvenir shop and a tent set up in a parking lot. There, we, and another tour group, watched a small group of dancers do traditional dances. They did work hard to entertain. We were also taken to a bead and leather factory run by single mothers. In the end, it was not the experience we expected and definitely not as advertised for the money. I do not recommend it.
Hallo! We wish to note that its your duty to read and understand what you book. On additional information its clearly written that bomas of kenya is closed and under renovations!! As at now only authentic original cultural dances take place at alternative location. Also importantly its very wrong for you not to read and understand tour description as clearly outilined. Next time kindly read and understand all information provided before booking anything! Read everything and if you have questions ask! Further the title for this tour is clearly cultural dances. Its quite disturbing to say the least that you further enjoy the cultural original dances as clearly described and perfect authentic bead work and yet you claim not sa daverstised. Next time read and understand what you book. We charge tours as per services offered. We are professionals and Not a taxi service! If it was expensive next time find cheap tours! At the same time no body forces or asks you to buy anything at the maasai market! You are at liberty to buy or not! Surely nothing is further from the truth! Wish you well.
The experience was very informative and interactive with an explained contextual history of each dance.
Dear Timothy, Thank you for such a fabulous review. We are very grateful you had the best time with us. For us it is indeed such a tremendous joy giving these memorable experiences. And yes, Kenya has a rich cultural heritage. It's not only the wildlife, but also the culture of the Kenyan people that's fascinating. There's so much joy in making your trusted client have nothing but beautiful memories and exceptional indelible moments. Your words just go to attest to the professionalism and utmost commitment we give to our treasured guests. Karibu sana! We welcome you back to Kenya and delightfully await your return to explore and discover the rest of magical Kenya. Warm and best wishes,
Not as advertised. The location is closed. Two off site locations for bead work and dancing. Not worth the cost. Dancers were good and bead work great but not at all what was promised.

Its quite disturbing to say the least that you further enjoy the cultural original dances as clearly described and perfect authentic bead work and yet you claim location was closed!

This was a great day. He even took us to Aqueeq Galleria to get rare gemstones! Bomas of Kenya was amazing and he took the time to explain each tribe and how they arrange their structures (granary, huts, etc etc). The actual dances were amazing and it was a monumental experience. Do this specific tour!!!! You will remember this day forever
Dear Dhiambi, thank you for writing such a gracious review of your tours & time with us. We're so glad you had an amazing day. We appreciate your time, and we hope to see you again soon on our next adventure. Thank you,
