Resplan
Upptäck charmen i Nairobis ikoniska giraffcenter, en sevärdhet som måste besökas för att bevara den utrotningshotade Rothschilds giraff. Hotellet ligger 20 km från stadskärnan, vilket gör det enkelt att ta sig till stadens alla viktiga faciliteter. Besökare kan handmata girafferna från en upphöjd plattform, lära sig om deras bevarande historia, och även ta oförglömliga bilder när girafferna försiktigt tar pellets från din hand. Centret har också en naturstig som leder till den närliggande Gogo River Bird Sanctuary, där du kan njuta av en lugn promenad omgiven av lokal flora och fauna. Varje besök drivs av Afrikanska fonden för utrotningshotade vilda djur och växter (AFEW) och stöder viktiga bevarande- och utbildningsprogram över hela Kenya. Giraffcentret är perfekt för familjer, djurälskare och fotografer och utlovar en rolig, lärorik och hjärtvärmande upplevelse som kopplar dig till Kenyas rika naturarv.
Kliv tillbaka i tiden på Karen Blixen Museum, ett av Nairobis mest uppskattade historiska landmärken. Beläget vid foten av Ngong Hills, var denna vackert bevarade bondgård en gång i tiden hem för den Danska författaren Karen Blixen, känd för sin memoar Out of Africa. Besökare kan utforska det eleganta hemmet från kolonialtiden, komplett med originalmöbler och artefakter som berättar historien om Blixens liv och hennes tid i Kenya från 1917 till 1931. Kunniga guider delar fascinerande insikter i hennes äventyr, hennes kaffeodling och hennes inflytande på Kenyas kulturhistoria. Den fridfulla trädgården och vidsträckta utsikten skapar en lugn atmosfär, perfekt för foton och reflektion. Bara 15 km från Nairobis centrum, erbjuder museet en autentisk inblick i Kenyas koloniala förflutna och litterära arv - ett måste-besök för historieälskare, fans av Out of Africa, och alla som söker en touch av nostalgi och romantik i hjärtat av Karen.
Upptäck den inspirerande världen av Kobe Tough Beads and Leather, en unik verkstad och boutique i Nairobi som hyllar kenyanskt hantverk och samhällsengagemang. Kobe Tough grundades för att erbjuda hållbar sysselsättning för lokala kvinnor och omvandlar återvunna material och högkvalitativt läder till fantastiska handgjorda smycken, accessoarer och heminredning. Besökare kan titta på skickliga hantverkare i arbete, skapa intrikata pärlarbeten och läderstycken som blandar traditionellt afrikanskt konstnärskap med modern design. Det livliga showroomet erbjuder ett vackert urval av autentiska kenyanska souvenirer – från eleganta halsband och armband till eleganta handväskor och bälten – där varje del berättar en historia om kreativitet, motståndskraft och hopp. Ett besök på Kobe Tough är mer än shopping; det är en upplyftande kulturell upplevelse där varje köp stödjer lokal försörjning och bevarar Kenyas konstnärliga arv.

Very nice tour. I was a Solo traveller and was very well accompanied by Julie the guide and Patrick the driver. We started the tour with the Kobe beads, then we went to the Giraffe center and we ended the tour by Karen Blixen museum. I was picked up on time at 9am and went back to my hotel by 2:30pm as there was traffic on the way back. I definitely recommend this tour 👍
